  Re: New Space?
 
(...) That would ROCK! (...) I think this is a super idea, and I think if someone at LEGO hears about it (are you listening, Jake) and pushes the idea upstream, they might go for it. They have just shown that it can be done, with the (URL) Factory®> (...) (20 years ago, 23-Nov-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

  Mega Bloks does it again...
 
Well, here is an other example of good marketing execution by Mega Bloks... And a bad one by LEGO, in my view. November 13th, 2004, a new toy store opened in Quebec City : (URL). They have many specialised sections, one of them about construction (...) (20 years ago, 14-Nov-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  Re: Please release "upgrade"-kit for 8369
 
Very Strong point! I completely agree here with you. When trying to compete with other RC cars all other drivers have to turn off their transmitters to give me that 20 meter of transmitting range. When these others are turned on the range falls back (...) (20 years ago, 14-Nov-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

  Please release "upgrade"-kit for 8369
 
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)
 
  Re: X-Large baseplates in other colors
 
(...) The baseplates aren't attached. Also, I've never heard about 4522. Brand Retail is still selling 4509s. -Brian (20 years ago, 13-Nov-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

  Re: X-Large baseplates in other colors
 
(...) Hmmm 4509 shows as Sold Out on the S@H web site (not that I really wanted one anyway). The LUGNET Guide entry for 4509 says that 4522 is the 2004 replacement, but 4522 does not show on LUGNET or S@H. In any case, I'm glad to see that they make (...)

  Re: X-Large baseplates in other colors
 
Well, they do make them in blue, red, and yellow as seen in this set: (URL) emailed them with the same request but didn't get a response. Corey (no relation to Ray) :) (20 years ago, 12-Nov-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  X-Large baseplates in other colors
 
Dear Lego, Please consider making the Extra-Large baseplate (#628) in other colors. Colors which immediately come to mind are... Blue, Tan, White, Black and Brown. This could be a one time special production run, packaged one of each color as a set (...) (20 years ago, 12-Nov-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  Anatomy of a Shop At Home group order
 
A few days ago, in this thread: (URL) mentioned the large group order that we (my co-workers & I) do every year about this time. This was our third annual and largest order yet.

  Re: S@H Exchange Rate?!?! (was Re: BNSF high balls it!)
 
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)
 
  Re: S@H Exchange Rate?!?! (was Re: BNSF high balls it!)
 
(...) I think I have to back Kevin on this one. Major international corporations charge a fixed exchange rate. This is an acceptable Accounting Practise. However, I would look back at year end (or whenever the audit would take place) and question (...) (20 years ago, 6-Nov-04, to lugnet.loc.ca, lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  Re: S@H Exchange Rate?!?! (was Re: BNSF high balls it!)
 
(...) I'm going to have to disagree with your logic here. Main Street came out last year at an exchange rate of 1.31 (85Cdn vs 65US) and the Canadian dollar is doing MUCH better than last year. Why suddenly 1.50 versus 1.31, or the current ACTUAL (...) (20 years ago, 6-Nov-04, to lugnet.loc.ca, lugnet.dear-lego)

  Re: S@H Exchange Rate?!?! (was Re: BNSF high balls it!)
 
(...) Hey, forget about complaining about too high prices outside the US to S@H. Lego ist totally deaf on that ear. Besides, $CDN59.99 is about US$49.79, which is still cheaper than our EUR39.99, which in turn is about US$51.19. And the stuff is (...)
