(...) Um, I know that a lot of us here are addicted to the brick, but when Lego starts advertising the "dime bag" of 1x1 bricks, that may be too far. ;) Ben Roller (25 years ago, 2-Feb-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

Oddly, I was always thinking about buying parts by the pound (or kilogram or whatever). TLC could tell us the *approx* number of each part per pound, then just weigh them out. We would know that we were getting an aproximation. Sorta like buying (...) (25 years ago, 2-Feb-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

Dear Lego, I note that your current plastic thingie set, Air Zeppelin, seems to be a glut on Walmart shelves, even at 9 bucks which is significantly less than original MSRP. Every single Wal Mart I was just at (and I hit about 10 in the last week) (...) (25 years ago, 2-Feb-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)
