 | | Dear LEGO, do you realize what is happening?
|
| I'm concerned about the community. I've read, in the past years, many threads about how people didn't like this line or that decision, but never as much as in the last few months. One would think the color change is the only reason. It certainly is (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jul-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

| (...) This part has already been spotted, but it's not quite the same design. She asked for a 3x3 33 degree triple corner slope (wow, I hadn't really noticed how 3-centric that part was...), but the one shown in the scan is a 4x4 18 degree triple (...)

| | | | | just a silly question re: LEGO & AFOLS
|
| Dear LEGO: Is there anything you learned about the AFOL market in the last few years that really surprised you, really 'knocked your socks off'? JohnG, GMLTC (20 years ago, 12-Jul-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

|
| (...) Hi Marlon, For the greatest part, you are right of course. For me, sets are only a bunch of useful (or useless) parts. So, it doesn’t matter in which form LEGO put it in a box. And I can take it or leave it. Their only mistake was the change (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jul-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)
| | | | | Re: wishin' on a star
|
| (...) Well, a lot of the pieces you showed would make sense to complete the Lego system. BUT we are talking of TLC, so waiting for a solution that would make sense is most propably a waste of time. Unless of course they would need one of the bricks (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jul-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.org.ca.parlugment)

|
| (...) Thanx to everyone who replied! I'm glad to hear from those on both sides of the fence... After making my post I started thinking more about what Lugnet is for, and voicing likes and dislikes is amongst them... so I hope I didn't rub anyone the (...)

| | | | | Re: Knights’ Kingdom™ is ugly.
|
| (...) What you have to look at is the age ranges. Harry Potter, which is similar to older castle in complexity and use of parts, is 8+,7+,8+. Knights Kingdom is 5+,6+,7+. Its one step up from Jack Stone. If you want to compare the old castle stuff (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jul-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.castle, FTX)

| | | | | Re: A Non-Griping Letter With Gasp! Praise for Lego!
|
| (...) Agreed. I'd like to mention: a) 4496 Tub. Same price, more actual brick material. Less 1x1 and 1x2's over the 4107. b) 10152 Maersk Ship. Amazing set, great pieces. c) The entire 2003 line. Calum (20 years ago, 8-Jul-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

|
| I'm somewhat of a lurker, but I saw this as a message I just couldn't ignore. I'll agree with Felix that the new sets, especially the Grand Tournament one, just don't live up to the old castle standards. I recall being disappointed with the first (...)

| I visit Lugnet every day to see what people are saying about my favorite hobby, and it seems to me that just about every other post is a gripe about Lego... whether it be about the new colours or the new sets... Well, I thought maybe for once a (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jul-04, to lugnet.dear-lego) !!

| | | | | Re: wishin' on a star
|
| (...) Lots of excellent choices. I've got a bit of a wish list two. a) 1x3, 2xn tiles. Basically, tiles in the same size range as we already have in plates b) 2xn plates with a single row of studs (similar to the 2x1 with one stud) c) ball & socket (...)

| (...) Well, if they made it in an 18 slope even though there's only one other basic compatible piece (I know there's also a triple-wedge, but...), there's always a chance that they might make it in 33 and 45 degree versions someday.
