		Re: Dropship Role ( Was: Re: New MOC - Wyvern Dropship)
(...) I recommend a really neat book called Hunter-Killer Squadron. It's a collection of stories from helicopter pilots and grunts from the Air Cavalry (1st Cav) in Vietnam. It just now struck me that the whole idea of dropships was probably taken (...) (24 years ago, 2-Dec-00, to lugnet.space)

You're right - Christina/Joe/whoever could take the accumulated funds from BF and write themselves a check for (...) (18 years ago, 10-Sep-06, to lugnet.events, lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

		Re: Griffon Industries realeases it's first light freighter!
(...) Some constructive (I hope) criticism: -Like Paul said above, some stripes or something would be good. Actually, you've got such a nice big flat space on the sides, you could even do a crude logo, along the lines of the Nike swoosh or the AT&T (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jan-01, to lugnet.space)

		Re: Color Change - Final Update
I'm glad to hear that TLC might continue service packs in the original colors. Could you give us an idea of how the current original-color packs are doing, sales-wise? This is what I would like to see continue to be sold in the original colors: (...) (20 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, FTX) !!

		Bad Policy #2 (Why all the secrecy, LEGO Direct?)
And another thing... Why is there so much secrecy surrounding any information coming from LEGO? It's like dealing with the NSA. Examples: #1: The recent "Train Summit". All of the particiapants were required to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Why? (...) (23 years ago, 5-May-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

		Re: Thoughts on Spy Photos of New Trains
(...) Only if the Super Chief was three times as expensive, which it wasn't. Real bricks mean more value for the dollar than molded super-pieces. (...) I have no idea what effect price per piece means for TLC's bottom line. They seem to go to either (...) (19 years ago, 7-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

		Re: "Was it worth it to you?" was Re: Cost of Brickfest
The money I spent for Brickfest was definitely worth it. I didn't spend too much since I drove down from Baltimore every day, but I guess $60 for gas, tolls, and food, not counting $100 or so spent on 2 T-shirts and LEGO purchases. I wouldn't mind (...)

		Polybag Racks (was: Shopping Anecdote and Suggestions (Long))

		Re: Nicely now. What do you think of the new colors?
(...) Thank you for requesting our input on this issue. If you can tell us, what is your opinion as an AFOL of the color change - both the colors themselves, and the manner in which the change was handled? (...) Ah, but two months ago, TLC would (...)

		Re: Brickshelf.com – A Possible Solution

Do you think a "LEGOshelf" gallery site would be a (...) (17 years ago, 16-Jul-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)

		Re: BrickWorld 2007 - who's getting paid?

		Re: Bad Policy #2 (Why all the secrecy, LEGO Direct?)

I mean, LEGO really doesn't have any competition (MegaBloks can only compete on price), so it's not like somebody would (...) (23 years ago, 5-May-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
