 | | Does LEGO sell LEGO anymore?
|
| Well, after looking at the latest catalog, World Tour Summer 2001, all I can wonder is: Does Lego make Lego anymore? So what does the new catalog have: · 2 page spread for Bionicle (makes one look at burps with admiration), new train engines (great (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jul-01, to lugnet.general)

 | | Duplo Castle / Dragon sets parted out
|
| I have jsut parted out 24 copies of set 4776 Dragon Tower from the Duplo Castle series. Lots of cool parts in the set, including the very cool dragon itself as well as some oversized weapons and Duplo bricks in non-bright colors. You can view all of (...)

Parting out full retail sets just is not feasible. I suspect it will be real soon (...) (21 years ago, 5-Aug-05, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, FTX)

 | | Sub-Parting
|
| Making sub-parts is a very good method to keep file sizes down when large portions of code can be used twice or more times in the same part or in several parts. But my question is, how small can this code snippet be before it's better to not (...) (16 years ago, 2-Jan-11, to lugnet.cad)

From my understanding, TLC's goal is to have TWO train lines - one for "adults", and one for "young kids" (to bridge the gap between DUPLO trains and 9V). TLC has (hopefully) learned from its (...)
