| | TLC To Mix Old and New Grays
|
| Just saw this post from a couple of days ago on (URL) Jake Mckee's blog>: In the future, you may see some sets have both old grays and new grays in the same box. It's apparantly a cost-cutting move. Marc Nelson Jr. (URL) Marc's Creations>> (19 years ago, 29-Apr-05, to lugnet.color, FTX) !

| (...) That's some heroic spin from our man Jorgen. See this: The result after tax for the year was DKK -1,931m compared with DKK -935m in 2003. Obviously, all the cost-cutting is good news, and once they unload the parks they'll be in much better (...) (20 years ago, 6-Apr-05, to lugnet.lego, FTX)

| | Re: TLGs wasteful box sizes?
