I work in a university library (and I used to work in a public library) and I have always wondered how the library concept could be integrated with the Lego play concept. I think there is an opportunity with the Designer series of sets. If Lego (...) (21 years ago, 22-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

It's impossible for me to limit it to just 5! I have about two or three notebook pages dedicated to this very thing. So, with my apologies, here's some highlights from my longish wish list... Current elements that exist, just not in these colors: (...) (21 years ago, 22-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

(...) I'll follow up my own post and also express my amazement that 10000 Guarded Inn and 10039 Black Falcon's Fortress sold out sometime in the last couple of days. At least the Guarded Inn re-release has been out for a bit longer. I suppose this (...) (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.castle)

My understanding (from reading the press release about how well Hogwarts Castle did) is that it is unusual for sets to go through multiple production runs. (...)

I just noticed tonight that the 10040 is listed as sold out (as opposed to being on back order, which would give me a ray of hope). It was my understanding that Legends were intended to be long-running releases (see (URL) Based on (URL) and (URL) it (...) (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.pirates)
