(...) Nevertheless, I stand by my original assertion that offering royalties isn't critical at all in making the Lego Factory concept a success - and just adds another layer of complexity to what is no doubt an already complex process. It was a nice (...) (21 years ago, 26-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.general)

(...) Uhm, have you seen print-on-demand servcies such as www.cafepress.com or www.trafford.com? They do exactly that with t-shirts, mugs, books, CD's, etc. The paperwork/legal aspects of such a venture are easy to deal with following the Cafepress (...)

(...) A good tradeoff might be to give designers credit toward future purchases of their own. That stays "within the system" - no checks to mail, etc. When a designer's model is purchased, that designer's account gets a credit. Very simple, right? (...)

(...) When a company does something outside its core competency, something infrequent, this is the kind of outcome to be expected. Maybe the Ambassadors could help with making serious building contests fairer. (21 years ago, 25-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.general, FTX)

Thanks for the kind words. I agree with you that the idea the Lego company has with regards to creating other sets would be a good one, given the substantial number of very nice creations that did not win. It would be nice to see some of my designs (...) (21 years ago, 24-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.general, FTX)
