(...) If the evidence isn't there, it's certainly in the sets they're releasing. (...) Which is nice if you can afford $120 plus sets. But what about the kid who wants to get started in Technic but can't come up with that kind of coin? What ever (...) (23 years ago, 19-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) It is this link between adult LEGO fans and parents of potential LEGO fans (in that they are often the same person) that the company has completely ignored and lost ground on. For every loyal customer like John I wonder how many have given up (...) (23 years ago, 19-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Dino Head Attack had 7 technic bricks in it (including a 1x16 in black), Gungan Sub had 2 1x16s in blue, four in the droid dev kit, etc. So the pcs are out there, just bits here and there. Ray (23 years ago, 19-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) I beg to object. The sheer $ amount spent by adult builders - not to mention the "missionary/salesman" aspect in promoting Lego products to others SHOULD be of SUBSTANTIAL interest to LEGO. I know that my own purchases (insane as they are) are (...) (23 years ago, 19-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Your argument is just as baseless as mine. Putting together (packing) an old Technic set would only cost more because they used to use more bricks (using value as a comparison). And I never actually mentioned old sets in my post. (...) My (...) (23 years ago, 18-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) This is baseless. I suspect Lego's internal production lines are not exactly primed for this. I.e. costs for putting together old Technic sets might be very high, for all I know. Furthermore, Lego representatives have pointed out on several (...) (23 years ago, 18-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)

Dear LEGO, I would like to suggest a different approach to the system line, a modular castle set. The LEGO Company follows a fairly standard approach to the system line. You have your low cost entry sets, a range of mid-cost sets, and then one top (...) (23 years ago, 18-Feb-02, to lugnet.dear-lego)

"We're redefining Lego. It's not just about bricks" "Within the construction area, you can only grow so much" These two sentences mark a clear departure from the traditional Lego reporting approach (or should I say PR?). I used to love when articles (...) (23 years ago, 18-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)
