 | | Lego has gotten 'CHEAP'?
|
|
I has been my experience that TLC, of late, has gotten cheap. I recently bought 6464, among other newer Town sets, and found that TLC no longer, or rarely, uses the 1x3 doors for the vehicles (PartsRef 3821 3822). This is upsetting, as my minifigs (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) I've got 5 or 6 (I forget, exactly) already. Who needs more than that? Just sell me the doors and windows and wagon plates and slopes in bulk and I'm fine. Sure, a rereleased metroliner at 150 USD would be nice. But I'd rather see better NEW (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.trains)

(...) Assuming you're in the US, try 1-800 GAB LEGO ... if they aren't it, they know the number. Ask for Consumer Affairs. Hope that helps. ++Lar (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Yeah, in the first month. Let's see what happens in siz months. See if the bulk ordering demands are still that great. Remember that we had to wait for bulk sales a _long_ time. Everybody got psyched up and started buying as soon as bulk sales (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) I think this is exactly why TLC will NOT re-release old themes. Only a few dozen want it. Second reason: Re-releasing old themes would be like admitting defeat.

I think that TLC should Re - release some of the popular older themes I think they would sell very well because most people here missed out on heaps cool sets when they went through there dark age(s). - James Walker (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

It broke the large train cab and the yellow light holder thing that fits under it... If Lego does replace parts, (...) (24 years ago, 28-Jun-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)
