(...) Any pictures of the new sets? Kinda odd that there is no pics on brickset and nothing on lego.com about most of these sets yet. Mark (21 years ago, 22-Nov-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2005)

  Re: Well, this isn't good (especially for the Disney board here)
 
(...) I think it was Lego that bailed on the continued contract. From what I've heard, Lego basically said "We've been hit hard by licensing, we're not going to do any more licensed products." - Star Wars was great, but also flopped (Lucas got a (...) (21 years ago, 22-Nov-04, to lugnet.disney)

  Re: New Space?
 
I'll second that. They should have a PCS theme to combat the forces of 3vil, as the Space Police had Blacktron. They've already produced a skull base, so they're paying attention. James Wilson Dallas, TX (21 years ago, 22-Nov-04, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: New Space?
 
I'd like to see a theme that looks like what AFOL's call Pre Classic Space. Of course Lego would have to come up with a "better" name than Pre Classic Space. Jeff (21 years ago, 22-Nov-04, to lugnet.space)
