(...) Hi Kevin, Your idea of a minifig pack, "special 25th anniversary edition" sounds nice. I just don't understand why you think LEGO needs older molds... the minifig has remained basically the same ever since it was launched, with minor changes (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jan-03, to lugnet.dear-lego)

It is my belief that as long as LEGO® markets trains toward children, we won't see much progress being made. I too, would like the company to aim it's train line at fine hobby shops worldwide...then we should see a sharp rise in interest when the (...)

snip (...) snip I disagree, as a child the only lego train set (as opposed to a single vehicle) I could ever afford was the unmotorised 7715 (URL) had a battery motor from when i was younger so used that, doesn't give you the remote control I am (...)

(...) Hmm. Well I think if you omit the visors then the problem I recall will be far less likely to occur, if at all. So as long as no one minds the extra-thick chin on the visor-able helmets, then that could be a solution. I am not certain they (...) (22 years ago, 26-Dec-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.dear-lego)

It would be great to see some of the old space sets brought back as legends. I know I'd buy them. I actually started on a small project last night, where I'm taking the 6781 SP Striker from the Space Police Set and updating it with some new parts (...)
