| (...) I cna understand how Galidor might bea little odd from lego, but some Town Jr. sets, LOM, even Jack Stone has great parts. Lego's idea is not only build our sets, but knock our socks off by building something great with *our* parts (...) I do (...)

| (...) Just the point I wanted to get across for themes like LOM, Town Jr sets, and (hushed tone) Galidor. These don't even deserve to be called lego, and rightfully so. Where has an *actual* castle or space theme gone? (...) Well, they do (...) (22 years ago, 11-Aug-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space, lugnet.castle, lugnet.town)

|
| That's it, I can't take no more of this crap lego is releasing and calling sets. If these sets are so great why are they discontinued so soon and why are they re-releasing old sets, the ones which were good. Lego has never had to follow fads. And as (...)

| | | | | Re: Say it ain't so...
|
| (...) Guess that's right. TLC has been doing a lot of licensing and bandwagonning lately, and I just can't see why. Yeah, It's cool to see a few new SW and HP sets, but don't you think it's more than enough when they initiate a seven year contract (...)

| (...) Yeah, cool color schemes are hard to find in todays models, and the harry potter sets had the worst scheme I could imagine (tan and dary grey, a little too rustic for my tastes.) As for the Story lines, yeah the whole purpose was to expand (...) (22 years ago, 11-Aug-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space, lugnet.castle, lugnet.town)

| (...) Yeah, I think the 1999-2000 line had a lot of useful parts, and great designs, and I'm not gonna scream about that. In fact, I bought a snowspeeder and a few packs of speeder bikes just for the parts, but the newer SW models such as droid (...)

Lego makes more money on each set sold that way, so they can afford smaller production runs (which cost more). The sets that are unique to Lego Direct (...)
