    Re: From the first LEGO(r) Train Summit: LEGO(r) Trains are alive and well —Frank Buiting
   (...) Great stuff! Are there plans to have such meeting again someday? It's great to hear that Lego is _really_ in touch with their community! I guess the NDA covers future products, or does it also cover other things? Please tell us for a rough (...) (23 years ago, 4-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.lego.direct)

     (...) I'm surprised to hear that, but if it's true, then it's good news, and it would make things a lot clearer. So, what then *is* the target market for lego.com, and how were things like satisfaction measured? (...) And usability testing, of (...)

         Re: From the first LEGO(r) Train Summit: LEGO(r) Trains are alive and well —Kevin Loch
     LEGO would be making a huge mistake if they assumed that the things we want are different than what kids want. I hear just about every day from a very reliable source that parents and kids hate juniorized sets. They want sets with more pieces. They (...)

He likes my town sets, from the early 90's and 80's because of the detail, like garage doors. I talk to my (...) (23 years ago, 4-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.lego.direct)

      (...) My sons are ages 5 and 7. The younger one loves to build and can easily build sets labeled ages 8-12, for instance. The worst trouble he has is finding the pieces, so I agree with Rose that the newer inside packaging into separate poly bags (...)
