(...) You are SO right on with that observation Christopher! But I think that *all* of us feel this way to some extent. Sure, we joke about it, but seriously: what is it about Lego that is _so_ completely different than any other toy, and I mean (...) (26 years ago, 24-Mar-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Hmm...sounds like a condition that aging, has-been rockers have....have you seen some of the VH1 "Where Are They Now?" episodes? (...) I've noticed this too. I like to think the aversion comes from legitimate concerns about quality - but (...) (26 years ago, 24-Mar-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

Oh, btw, I was going to make a point in this debate :) but forgot - what happens if someone holds either a set or brick auction that includes clone brands? -- Thomas Main main@appstate.edu (...) (26 years ago, 24-Mar-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

Now I'm almost a believer (in Lego purity). The Creature Seekers Naval Command (...) (26 years ago, 24-Mar-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

LOL I have had that *same* idea, although mine was much more limited to producing specialty pieces for trains, such as larger wheels, drivers, prototypical doors, windows, engine noses, etc. The secret IMO for these clone companies is to *not* try (...)

(...) Macs::Windows? Oh no - let's not go there.... Actually the Lego/Apple comparison is not that far off.
