Folks are responding, I think, not out of beligerence or because they're mean people, but rather because they feel strongly about the hobby and have certain ideals they'd like to see advanced. (...)

| (...) Here's where I disagree with you- I definitely feel that we are better off LEGO-wise than we were even as recently as, say, 1998 or 1999. The sets are better, with far less juniorization; we have bulk packs available, and more on the way; we (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general)

Similarly, following the implementation of the bulk sale service, quite a few people (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general)

But then again, it looks a bit like their head has a ball joint, like the Technic figures. A good thing is (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jan-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general)
