| You know looking at all the interesting mechs created by the people in this forum it seems to me that a really great model exhibit could be put together that could pull thousands of people into a museum or some kind of expo (um mechspo). You'd think (...) (24 years ago, 18-Mar-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) I think that would be lots of fun. We'd have to call it something else because FASA copyrighted the term "mech" for their Battletech game. (...) No, I don't think they would. I don't think LEGO would like the fact that 99% of the mecha you see (...) (24 years ago, 18-Mar-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| I have been showing my robots for years at art shows and the like, I would love for more people to do so, fact is they are are expensive, I produce a new robot once every year or two. It would be great if TLC would move towards this genre, but as I (...) (24 years ago, 18-Mar-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| To All, There is certainly a market for this, I think LEGO would do well to look into this, but I think the only things we will see are the Life on Mars types. (...) Well, being both a space, mech, and train fan, I think this is a little.... harsh (...) (24 years ago, 18-Mar-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) I like train displays, though a technology that's more than a century old is, well, quaint. Mecha represent a technology that has yet to be made real, but probably will be in this century. It has another century to go before it becomes (...) (24 years ago, 19-Mar-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

There are other new products in their line up with the (...) (24 years ago, 19-Mar-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) I agree with you. I think LEGO is rationalizing it by calling their weapons "tools" which they apparently use to help them get around their native lands... or something. Whatever. We all know they're fighting robot things, so why not bite the (...) (24 years ago, 19-Mar-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
| | | | | Re: Lego Mechspo

| (...) I'm torn here. I agree that Lego should in some ways "bite the bullet" and just admit what we all know anyway and make some mechs. However part of me likes that Lego doesn't do mecha. I like pushing the limits in an area/theme that Lego has (...) (24 years ago, 19-Mar-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| Yep, Back in 1988, yep winter I rekon, I started building the Black Robot, a sort of Insect GigerMech. Yep, thought it was purty futuristic at the time. Hey still is.

| (...) This was more what I had in mind when I said a Mechspo could help TLC sell their product, at least in the form that I buy it (bulk bricks). It may be more profitable for Lego to sell bricks in plain plastic bags than sets (with licensing (...) (24 years ago, 20-Mar-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| Ya , TLC should take notice of individual piece sales thru forms like e-bay, brickbay, there is obvioulsy a demand for what the builder needs, They would be smart to cash in, on the other hand we all know TLC is smart about making there product (...)
