  Re: Please sell the "girls" accessory bag from 3409 seperately
 
(...) I would! -Shiri -- I'll be on vacation between July 15th and the end of August... please forgive slow replies to emails/posts. (24 years ago, 9-Jul-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  Please sell the "girls" accessory bag from 3409 seperately
 
I don't know if anyone else has mentioned it, but I was just thinking, it would be REAL nice if they would sell the bag of female heads and wigs from the new soccer set separately. It's already a separate bag. Just throw a LEGO Direct set number on (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jul-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  Re: Lego has gotten 'CHEAP'?
 
(...) It started in 1997. It is known here as "juniorizing," and everyone here hates it. It is thought it started because kids started to get lazy, and wanted something they could play with sooner than a decent set. We here are hoping it will not go (...)

  Re: Re - Realease Old Themes?
 
(...) Not paying attention, that's all. Here is a proof for you: 1. You design better sets than TLC does. 2. I design better sets than you do. 3. Therefore, by transitive closure, I design better sets than TLC. QED :=) (this german keyboard is (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jul-00, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.trains)

  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 (...)

(...) Uhhhhhh, me? If I found some laying around for $150 or less MISB, I sure would add to the 5 I have ;-) (...)

  Re: Re - Realease Old Themes?
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: Does Lego replace broken parts?
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: Re - Realease Old Themes?
 
(...) 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)

  Re: Re - Realease Old Themes?
 
(...) 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. TLC would have to acknowledge that present day themes stink when comparing them to (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

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)
 
  Idea for new Town set
