Hi all, the guy that actually contacted LEGO this morning was me, but Paul: Thanks a lot for mentioning it here already. If anyone wants to know what excactly happened, read on.

You should probably post this to the newgroup lugnet.lego.direct so that TLC will actually read it -- presuming that is your intention. Here it's more like preaching to the choir... -- Richard (24 years ago, 18-Sep-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

In the old site I can at least look at the catalogue without running into frash. No in the new one anymore. You can't look at the train sets without it asking you to install some lame program aka flash. Am I suppose to use Lugnet to just look at the (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

Dear LEGO, I'm sure this has occaisioned comment before, but I must have missed it. Why do town doors only hinge on 1 side? They only open left to right - which accurately represents about half the doors in the world. What about the other half? (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

I can't stop drooling over the new site - I really enjoy it and its use of flash (and they did an excellent job of the HTML version too). One thing I do take issue with though is the browser width - it forces you to have a certain width browser. I (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

Err...um...in some ways it is a tough question in other ways it is an easy question, and of course the answer is that it depends. What if 9v trains went away... If LEGO is discontinuing trains, shame on them, but I'll continue to build. After all, (...) (24 years ago, 12-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.dear-lego)
