(...) Jake, I wish you hadn't turned this into a personal issue when it is a corporate policy issue. Do you see the words "Jake McKee" anywhere in my post? Now the "rally round Jake" LUGNET defense mechanism has been activated, and anything I say (...) (21 years ago, 2-May-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) (URL) It's the video from the British show, someone edited down the show to just the part with the smart crash, and put their own music on top. Dumb, but shows what I was refering to. The way it just EXPLODES off to the side looks so wrong. (...) (21 years ago, 2-May-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)

(...) It's not the upfront money, it's the projected sales that determine whether a new mold is produced. Trains, while popular among AFOLs, just don't sell well among Lego's target market. I imagine that the projected sales for 10170 is at most (...) (21 years ago, 2-May-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.market.theory, FTX)

(...) Well the fortwo is suposedly coming to the US in 2007. I suspect they'll bring the forfour (horrid) down there, too. There is a ~5 month waiting list in Canada for a fortwo cdi. I don't want anyone to take my idea for a custom licence plate if (...) (21 years ago, 2-May-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

What a pleasant way to start off Monday! I'm looking forward to this set. Aside from the set itself, what I find interesting is the technique used in the photography. Check out the clear bricks used for supporting the freight bodies... (URL) the (...) (21 years ago, 2-May-05, to lugnet.publish.photography, lugnet.trains)

Dear Jake, Please don't take these sorts of email too seriously. I won't speak for anyone else but at least one of us AFOLs wholly supports this communication and, for that matter, the release itself. Thank you very much for all the work, time and (...)
