 | | Re: Introducing LEGO Direct

| (...) Since I was the one that brought up the question about whether TLC no war toy policy was possibly based on WWII and the Nazis overrunning Denmark, I wasn't asking for any explanations from the family. First off, KKK was born well after the (...) (25 years ago, 3-Jan-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

Not unless TLC alters their basic philosophy for parts creation. I think that the reality of "parts (...) (25 years ago, 5-Jan-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.general)

| OK OK OK, you twisted my arm..... That would be about 2900 sets and approximately 500,000 pieces. Windows and doors - about 6000, of which 4000 are from the classic era (from before 1978). I never took a complete inventory, but I did do some (...) (25 years ago, 5-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)

One was about 14 years ago, when I visited a KMART near Detroit. It had a LEGO display (...) (25 years ago, 5-Jan-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.general)

| Thanks Kevin, If it is any consolation: Besides the 840 classic LEGO windows I got from an accumulation of London Bus sets in Michigan in 1985, 90% of all my classic windows (& doors) were found in Germany (between 1979-93). So if anyone should be (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)

| | Bulk Sale Prices

| Since we don't yet have any idea about what the LEGO Direct Bulk Sales policy is all about, I did want to mention a few things. One is that we shouldn't expect any great bargains in purchasing via bulk orders. I don't think TLC is going to undercut (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)
