		First SE Michigan AFOL gets $400+ sets for only $30 TODAY!!

		Re: Dear LEGO Company,
Todd, Very well stated! My sentiments exactly. For those of us who have friends or acquaintances at TLG, it is especially distressing. Unfortunately this has not been the first turbulence at the Lego company. - The 1972 transfer of the Samsonite USA (...) (18 years ago, 28-Jun-06, to lugnet.lego)

		Why do European Lego Catalogs/Set Instructions have punched holes?
I noticed this a long time ago, but for some reason a lot of European catalogs and set instructions in the 1970's (and later?).... seem to have holes punched at the top corner. Why is that? This is not found in USA/Canada Lego catalogs and (...) (18 years ago, 3-Aug-06, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Newswatch: Fifth Legoland Park in Kansas City area in 2009
My whole take on this is that it is NOT Lego driven, but developer driven. If it goes thru, then the taxpayers of Kansas will be paying for this. But if it fails in the end, it could affect the reputation of Lego... the product. I am leary about (...)
