(...) OK, to phrase things more accurately, of all the activities that AFOLs do, train shows are the most visible to the public. Joe made an interesting point about BrickJournal, but I've always assumed that BrickJournal was "preaching to the (...) (17 years ago, 30-Jul-07, to lugnet.ambassadors)

(...) Actually while I would not support "needlessly complaining" if it is still an issue, and Save9VTrains is the HQ of the effort to actually do something about it, then yes they should have some sort of updates on a regular basis. For instance (...) (17 years ago, 30-Jul-07, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)

(...) Stores used to carry LEGO train sets on shelves, too. However, I don't know if they were big sellers -- I got a 4561 Railway Express at Target for 50% off. TRU always has a good LEGO selection, but I haven't even seen any of the RC train sets (...) (17 years ago, 30-Jul-07, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)

(...) I'd be curious about hard numbers as well. In the past couple of years that I've been involved with train shows, we've probably shown to a couple thousand people at each show. This is just based on my estimation though, as I'm not privy to any (...) (17 years ago, 30-Jul-07, to lugnet.ambassadors, lugnet.trains)

(...) Good point. The question then becomes where can you blend a certain theme with an already existing Con or event. LEGO did it in what I thought was a spectacular fashion at Celebration III, with a huge display of SW ships in LEGO (including (...) (17 years ago, 30-Jul-07, to lugnet.ambassadors)

I am here talking about Norway which, ironically enough, is one of Denmark's first neighbours and which, for many years now, hasn't been on S@H's list. Needless to say that the (...)
