  Re: This is stupid... I can't tolerate this *juniorization*...

(...) name is Joe Franco, im 16, and I have been playing with Lego for 13 years. I used to like your sets, because of the challenge of building them.

  Lego Skateboarding
 
After thinking (and seeing other brands of bricks) I thought of a possible liscence with some professional skateboarders and skateboard companies to make a Lego Skateboard series. I think it would sell VERY well, and a half pipe would be a nice (...) (23 years ago, 9-Aug-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  This is stupid... I can't tolerate this *juniorization*...
 
Ok, this is going to be a long message. Just to get who I am straight, I'm Dan Simonson, I'm 13, I've played with Legos since I was 3. I got a whole bunch of bricks from my sister, who once got them from my brother, who's 30 now. This is where my (...) (23 years ago, 9-Aug-01, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  Re: new lego sets? are they crazy?
 
(...) I agree with the people who think lego should keep Jack Stone as a DUplo set or something on that order, and still have a town or city theme for older people, say from ages 10-up. they shouldnt kill the popular town theme for a newer theme (...)

  Re: new lego sets? are they crazy?
 
(...) remember (...) No, but they used to get by charging about $4.50. Shipping charges didn't used to be huge on the little sets. (23 years ago, 4-Aug-01, to lugnet.town, lugnet.loc.ca, lugnet.dear-lego)

  S@H [was Re: new lego sets? are they crazy?]
 
(...) I'm not getting how you think the prices are misleading or unreasonable. S@H ships USPS Priority Mail when practicable. Priority Mail starts at $3.50 (trust me, I sent what was essentially one 8.5x11 sheet of paper today, and it cost $3.50. . (...) (23 years ago, 4-Aug-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  Re: new lego sets? are they crazy?
 
(...) So you think it makes more sense for Lego to charge $8.49 for that set? What if I want 10 $3.99 sets? If I get whacked for the shipping each and every time, I might as well order them seperately, which means it will cost LEGO the absolute most (...)

  Re: new lego sets? are they crazy?
 
(...) other (...) Well it sucks! At least in Canada, where a "3.99 US" set has $4.50 US shipping. And they the want our taxes in US$..... Now I never use S@H, even though I would use it every month if not for the misleading and unreasonable princing (...) (23 years ago, 4-Aug-01, to lugnet.town, lugnet.loc.ca, lugnet.dear-lego)
