 Dear LEGO / 1947
  Re: Lego Direct (was Re: Georgia LEGO Outlet is Cool!)
 
(...) Given a bunch of asses and this nice fellow, why not pick him? At least its exclusively what he does. Its not about buying the sets for resell for me. Its about TLC giving everyone an even chance, that's all. Why is that so ridiculous a thing (...) (25 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  Re: Lego Direct (was Re: Georgia LEGO Outlet is Cool!)
 
(...) I don't think it's a ridiculous thing to ask at all. It's only unreasonable, that's all. Not that it wouldn't be wonderful -- it's just not going to happen if the reason for TLC's having set up the outlet stores is to minimize hemorrhaging due (...)

  Re: Lego Direct (was Re: Georgia LEGO Outlet is Cool!)
 
(...) What?! Troy is a good guy because he buys up LEGO sets from the stores and re- sells them, but Larry is a bad guy because he has a project which requires many corridor sections, so he buys a bunch of Nebula Outposts for his own use? Or I'm a (...) (25 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)  
 
  Re: Lego Direct (was Re: Georgia LEGO Outlet is Cool!)
 
(...) Not at all if its true. This is merely an assertion on your part. TLC has stated nothing here to that effect. But if you think its wonderful, why do you resist the idea? No ifs, ands, or buts -- just get behind the ideas you support. Choose. (...) (25 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  Re: Lego Direct (was Re: Georgia LEGO Outlet is Cool!)
 
(...) Ya, it's an educated guess...or if you're skeptical, just a wild guess. (...) I would support Larry's proposal in December that his company help TLC with their ERP, so that the outlet store might no longer be necessary. Personally, I love the (...)

(...) A bunch of asses? How much more of this sort of beligerent junk are you going to spew? And Todd, how much more are you going to put up with? (25 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.admin.general)  
 
  Re: Lego Direct (was Re: Georgia LEGO Outlet is Cool!)
 
(...) I never called anyone elitist (I checked to be sure). And very early on I excluded you from my comments. Take offense if you will, but I selected you out of the comments I made directly and indirectly about others. Not you, Frank. Not you at (...) (25 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Hey, your mileage may vary. (...) [Mommy, Mommy -- Richard won't play fair! Make him stop, Mommy!] ass (às) noun plural asses (às´îz) 1. Any of several hoofed mammals of the genus Equus, resembling and closely related to the horses but having (...) (25 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Lego Direct (was Re: Georgia LEGO Outlet is Cool!)
 
Actually, I have a question for Todd. Is it possible to have the same cookie on my machine that lets me see or not see certain groups in the main page also let me not see any of Richard Marchetti's posts? I am half-kidding, but half not.

(...) Something equivalent to so-called killfiles popular in NNTP newsreaders? No, the web interface to the newsgroups doesn't support that fine-grained of filtering. --Todd (25 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.admin.general)  
 
  Re: Lego Direct (was Re: Georgia LEGO Outlet is Cool!)
 
(...) I think you are correct in your guess as to why the outlet stores have popped up (ie, TLC is attempting to stem the bleeding). BUT, in the current high-turnover business climate, there will always be a need to have a 'dumping ground' for (...) (25 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)
