Hi again, while posting my previous message, I have unfortunately forgotten to mention that the new LEGO Sculptures Dragon #3724 is right now only available when you log on with 'german' basket. I just ordered my copy so I wasn't aware of the fact (...) (24 years ago, 23-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2001)

(...) We've now seen three of these large scale dealiethings. I wonder how well they are doing? That is, what are the goals of these, is it opportunistic sales (do it because they're relatively easy to develop and since they use mostly basic bricks, (...)

I don't think that these things are great value, in terms of brick count, but I'm delighted that they are being produced. While I love Technic, trains, etc..., with their special pieces, I like the back-to-basic-bricks approach for the sculptures. I (...)

(loc.uk trimmed) (...) Lady Liberty might be, for the verdigris/sand green bricks, since AFAIK there's no other way to get 'em in large quantities...depends on how bad you want 'em I guess. J (24 years ago, 24-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2001)

(...) They're more economical than set-bursting (in time & effort, not necessarily straight cash), and more economical than the bulk packs. They're less economical than bulk tubs, but have a greater range of parts. <shrug> The only reason I haven't (...)

One would have to know the numbers sold to know if the are a money spinner, but I expect it must (...)

(...) I second that. I saw the Big minifig model on sale at legoland - almost missed it. The model was in a very plain, ugly box. There was no color, no pretty pictures - nothing. this shows me that it is a mail order item. (23 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.loc.uk)
