Working for LEGO Direct is always fun, but every once in a while a project
comes along that just makes me giddy when I get to come here and announce
it. Today, such an announcement is made.
We would like to invite you all to choose our next LEGO Legend release! We
have selected five sets from years past (one of which should make Tim
Courtney very happy). These sets were legends in their time for a number of
reasons, all of which you can read about at:
http://www.LEGO.com/build
or at the voting itself at:
http://www.LEGO.com/myOpinions
Around the end of May, we will announce the winning set. Before you know it,
you will be able to order it from LEGO Shop At Home! Some sets will take
more time to prepare for production, so I can't give a firm launch date, but
the goal is to produce the winner before the end of the year.
And no, the winner of this vote is not the last Legend for the year...
So what are you waiting for?? Head on over to the LEGO Web site now and put
in your 2 cents!!
Jake

| (...) Alright! Let's see some space! (or on the contrary, something cool at that:) I'm just hoping the next Legend will diversify the Legend's series. Then Lego Direst's product line will be a *bit* more stellar. Just my two brickz... <<_Matt (...) (22 years ago, 11-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

| The voting page mentions some changes required for the yellow castle, but I didn't see anything about the little red windows. Could this set possibly come with the real 1x1x1 windows? I need to know before I register to vote. :) Don (22 years ago, 12-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

| (...) Wow! I think it's great for Lego to give us such a great selection to choose from. While I'm leaning towards the 6285 or the yellow castle, I am wondering about the comment on the new tree for set 6390. Will this be a NEW tree (unlike any (...)

| | | Re: You get to choose!
|
| Waa Hoo! Those are all great sets that I would like to get. Of course being a space fan my vote had to go to the best space theme ever, Blacktron. I would be almost as happy with a Falcon Fortress though just for the grey pieces. -Mike Petrucelli (22 years ago, 12-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

| (...) WELCOME BACK, BLACK SEAS BARRACUDA! Ok, it's a premature statement, but of the 5 listed, it is by far, the greatest of the 5! Be sure to vote and bring one of the 5 back (hint: vote for the BSB! LOL)! -EmeraldOak (Robert) (22 years ago, 12-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

| | | Re: You get to choose!
|
| Woo-hoo! FWIW, my thoughts on the choices: 1. Yellow Castle. This was my vote without hesitation. All bricks, no panels! This is true building. As the set that began the castle theme, this is a legend. I'm not worried about some changes as some have (...) (22 years ago, 12-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

|
| (...) So-- If I may ask, how are Legends doing as a product line? Are we likely to see "legends" in stores? Are the Wild West & Pirate sets currently in stores considered "legends"?
