 | | Set 7263: TIE Fighter Box
|
|
I saw set 7263 for the first time in stores[1] today. The packaging is fantastic! Not the "Try Me" packaging[2]. The box is two-sided, with "front" printing on both large sides! Even better, the printing is oriented so that, depending on which side (...) (20 years ago, 2-Feb-05, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.starwars)

Dear LEGO, Please bring back the Radio-Controlled (R/C) Receiver with the auxiliary output, as shown here: (URL). This is a fantastic part because it uses standard LEGO connections (e.g. axel hole), unlike some of the other R/C sets, where (...) (20 years ago, 31-Jan-05, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) That's my understanding as well. That's a good summary of what Jake posted here (URL) and referred to here (URL). What's more, to my knowledge, that's the only reason which TLG have provided. Seems to me that either its fact or an outright (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jan-05, to lugnet.color, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

I remember when Lego carried Pnematic parts accessory packs which contained a pump, a cylinder, a switch a couple of 't's and tubing. This was a great way to buy Pneumatics. Now however the only way is through Lego Education. Not bad, they have the (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Well here's *my understanding* of it. TLG changed the colours because the old grays and brown did not fit in with their "vision" of the colour palette. They tested the new colours with groups of children, and the kids liked it. After changing (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.color, lugnet.dear-lego)

Hello! (...) Oh, people (kids, parents, non-AFOLs) are using "legos" all the time around here. It simply is shorter for "LEGO bricks" and everybody still knows exactly what this term ("legos") is referring to. As long as it's not used in official (...)

Dear LEGO, While shopping yesterday in a relatively new US WalMart store, I noted that the various sections of the toy department have little banner signs hanging out from the top of the stock shelves. These seemed to be placed in such a way so that (...) (20 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.dear-lego)

It was clearly possible for TLC to make old greys and old brown variety packs to help bridge the color change transition. I bought what I felt was more than my fair share of these packs but the supply didn't run out too quickly, so I don't feel (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.dear-lego)

I agree with the letter and sign it. Ofcourse it's hard to identify with every detail and wording of such an elaborate letter on a complicated issue. For example, I wouldn't demand a return to the original colors, since the new colors are allready (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jan-05, to lugnet.color, lugnet.dear-lego)

I pretty much love LEGO unconditional. But the supply of the old colours will eventually run out. A lot of parts will not be available in the new colours for quite a while, so it is a problem for Moccers. How would you feel, if you had a car (...)
