(...) You're right! I think that the reason that all the sets are so juniorized, is because kids don't have the patience to sit down and build something. Or, they are not creative enough to fit 5 bricks together into one larger. TLC says that lego (...) (25 years ago, 18-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Maybe Belville never was intended to compete with Barbie. Maybe the video games never were intended to compete with Doom or Myst. Maybe the LEGO Watches line never was intended to compete with Swatch or Times. etc., etc. (...) If you think of (...) (25 years ago, 18-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general)

(...) I can't agree more. TLC's apparant ambitions are, to put it mildly, ludicrous. According to their press release: "...our goal is for the LEGO brand to be known as the strongest brand in the world among families with children by 2005." From (...) (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) I agree fully. Last night my wife and I dropped a few hundred at S@H. It took me 4 minutes to give all the info. I was asked for the Blue box, the yellow box & all that too. But it took ages... Back when S@H was in Canada (I'm in Canada) they (...) (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

Wow, Stephane, can I send you some 4x3 bricks to customize? I could have used 12 of those in red in my new Cathedral. You could start a LEGO Customizing Service! Gary Istok (...) (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

You cannot even get near to competing. Just make some (...) (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Exactly!!! Lego, the percent of your customer base that buy your watches/video/ games/play sets because they find them superior to Swatch (do kids still wear those???), Sega, Barbie, even Tonka, etc. is negligible at best. Not to offend, but (...) (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)
