Dear LEGO, I recently bought the 8369 Dirt Crusher RC. It's a great car in many ways, fast, strong and fun to drive on allmost any terrain. Though I'm not compleatley happy with it. Why? Becous the range of the controller is rediculusly short. I can (...) (20 years ago, 13-Nov-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

And what is worse/will keep prices up for LEGO in Canada, is that alot of the wholesale prices we have to pay seem to be set at 1.5 of USD prices, so very high. Some are coming down, but not nearly as far as the currency has come down. So LEGO in (...) (20 years ago, 6-Nov-04, to lugnet.loc.ca, lugnet.dear-lego)
