 Dear LEGO / 4562 (-10)
  Lego Bricks!!
 
Dear Guys & Gals at Lego what's with the lack of availability of certain sloping and sloping inverted bricks and also windscreens? I remember being able to order these with no problems from the spares leaflet that came with most sets when I was a (...) (21 years ago, 28-Jan-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  Re: Blue 32 x 32 Baseplate Discontinued... nooo...ooo!
 
(...) Probably the same way they are doing the new Pirate set, just a "play mat". At least that is my theory. You know the company line... "it ain't dead". (so you never really know for sure). Ben M. (21 years ago, 28-Jan-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Re: Blue 32 x 32 Baseplate Discontinued... nooooo!
 
Yes, the 32X32 blue as a single item has been discontinued for a while now. The glimmer of hope is that Pitsco Dacta still sells a pack of baseplates (4 or 5 I think) that includes the 32X32 blue. You have to buy large gray and regular green with (...) (21 years ago, 28-Jan-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general)

(...) It lends itself to a bigger problem with S@H: they continue to display things that are sold out (discontinued)...while it's noble of them to let us know that there will be a restock, far too often they leave things up which they know have been (...)

(...) ARRGH! I've needed several of these for months, and been waiting for them to return to SAH, there are barely any on bricklink already. This is terrible. A new look! Psssh! -Daniel (21 years ago, 28-Jan-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) <snip> (...) Hm...then how are they going to do that Doc Ock lab on the dock set? Didn't the picture show a lab built up on a dock on the water? Maybe they aren't selling it as an individual item anymore... And would the baseplates be coming (...) (21 years ago, 27-Jan-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Blue 32 x 32 Baseplate Discontinued... nooo...ooo!
 
This may not be news to anyone, but it was news to me. I just got an email back from LEGO-Direct saying the blue 32 x 32 baseplate, though it says "Sold Out" on the S@H website, has been discontinued. Though I should look out for other items that (...)

  New colors - an alternative - BULK TUBS for Grays etc.
 
Replacing colors, dumb move. Creating a great market for grays on eBay and such (which TLC makes NO money from.....). How about another possibility that might mollify people. Treat the new colors as "new" colors BUT continue to make the old (and (...) (21 years ago, 20-Jan-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Probobly the ill-fated Movie Maker set (remember, they had to pay $$$ to Logitec for the camera and also $$$ to Speilberg to use his name) and such like will also disappear. (21 years ago, 18-Jan-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)
 
  Dear lego...
 
Here are some things you should do if you want to make more money: 1.keep the old light grey, dark grey and brown. Too many people (myself included) have stocks (big and small) of the old colors and will notice the change and think its not good. I (...) (21 years ago, 18-Jan-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)
