This is Jesse again and I saw one of your latest creations in the newest
LEGO catalog and I knew that your blacksmith shop was going to make it. I
did not know how well that it complemented the Guarded Inn but does it ever
fit in like a glove! Your tank ideas are truly revolutionary but I doubt
that LEGO will ever consider a military theme. After all, we have to fight
tooth and nail for the few LEGO Legends sets out there. Tyco, another
brand, did that a few years ago, but I think that division dried up after
lackluster sales and bad accounting practices, that is, if it is the same
Tyco that they have been talking about in the news lately, but this is about
LEGO so I will keep the subject at LEGO. Also, after 9/11, some people
might be offended at such an idea of making a LEGO military theme.
Pertaining to my leave of abscence, I had to move into a new house several
months earlier and to refocus my energies into buying new LEGO pieces and
sets. There is one quick piece of advice that I would like to interject
here and that is that flea markets are usually good places to get deals on a
large amount of LEGO pieces and they come in excellent condition as well.
The problem is knowing the dealers and when they will be around with new
LEGO sets. I have also been trying to come up with a successor to my much
ballyhooed Galaxy Destroyer. After 9 revisions, I think that it was time to
pretty much hang it up for that vessel, so I am building me a capital ship
now and it is around 200 studs long. I have it around 88% complete as of
this letter so I will try to put it together and have it ready for you. If
it looks like one elongated dog turd, blame the limited funds that I have
for purchasing said LEGO sets. It has taken me the better part of 3 weeks
to build this LEGO space craft. If you do not like this new vessel, I have
some smaller assisstance craft that might be worth seeing at least, Daniel.
I would like to color code my vessel more efficiently but I only have about
10,000 to 15,000 LEGO pieces. Well, I hope you build more models for LEGO
because if they are as good as the Blacksmith Shop, then it should give you
the inspiration to build more models for them and more hope for me as well
because all that is left of Space now is Star Wars.

| (...) Jesse, were you trying to send this to me directly? I just came accrss this post here, so I may as well respond. Thanks for the kind words on the Blacksmith Shop - I personally prefer my tavern over's Lego's diminutive Guarded Inn, but then (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.military)
