 | | Vance Quantum line at LEGO Factory?
|
| Jamie, once LEGO Factory gets underway, will we be seeing a line of Vance Quantum models available for sale? The base would be a huge one, but perhaps you could break it into several sets that can be built separately or fit together. Best, Joe (21 years ago, 16-Aug-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Joe- Most of the train stuff we have ever bought was on close out at Target, TRU, or the tent sale at LLCA.

Bryan- Ah, we are not quite communicating., I'm saying nothing good is happening with 9V train components, the stuff that handles 9VDC that makes the "hobby train" system as opposed to the "play train" system. Specifically, I mean motors, (...) (21 years ago, 16-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Here's notes from Jake about it: (URL) With this, and just a little bit of support from LEGO (such as the reintroduction of pirate minifigs and sails, and a couple other specialized parts), we could (...)

For trains, I go to a LEGO store, or (around Christmas) an independent toy store (...) (21 years ago, 16-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| So will this now be called Daimler-LUGNET? :) (sorry, car joke) Darrell ps Speaking for all the newbies, I'm glad this transition will mean LUGNET will continue in good hands. Thanks! :) (21 years ago, 14-Aug-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.general, FTX)

| (...) Ted, I'm sure all of us will agree that 9V train stuff is expensive. That means most retail stores (apart from LEGO stores and independent toy store) will avoid stocking these items except maybe during the Christmas season. So you're right in (...)
