How have things been working out since then? Has anyone actually ordered a
LF set? Have many people been making use of the custom part sets to design
more economical models? Any word from the good folks at LEGO about when we
might see more parts in the palette?
On the lugnet side of things, several of us had also asked for a LDD or
Factory newsgroup, probably under lugnet.cad. That doesn’t seem to have
happened. Is there anyone actually at the wheel at LUGNET these days, or is
it just flying on automatic?
Thanks,

Well, on October 12 Jake answered some LEGO Factory questions on
his blog (also
posted on LEGOFan),
but it doesn’t seem like anything has happened since then. Jake’s answer
included this quote:
We’re working on creating an overview of the palettes including a detailed
brick list for every palette. We’re currently planning this so we can deliver
the new palettes and the overview at the same time we launch the new palettes.
This means that we might be launching the palettes later next week than
intended. This should hopefully help the fans get a better understanding of what
they’re purchasing and they can build using a palette or an individual bag.
Going by that, the new palettes are about a month late (or more, if you consider
that they were originally supposed to arrive in September). I haven’t bought a
LEGO Factory set, and won’t until the program is much improved. The only
indication we have of LEGO Factory’s success is the
What’s Hot Now list at S@H, and I’ve never
seen the “My Custom Design” set on the list.
As for the .factory newsgroup, I don’t know what the story is. There’s no
.year.2006 yet, either, and we’re 5 weeks away. Here’s the
latest from Suz on LUGNET
administration.
