Unfortunately, I intended to post this off of the first post in this thread so it would get good exposure and I guess I wasn't paying attention. (...)

What is important is what you do with what you have, LEGO should be following (...) (21 years ago, 11-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

| | | | (...) Well, around here, Playmobil has about two or three times the shelf space than Lego has. And it sells well, because the size/price-ratio is way better than Lego (even if one takes the differences in scale into account). Their big advantage is (...)

| | | | (...) I've actually been paying attention to Playmobil recently. Does anyone know how they're doing financially? Both Lego and Playmobil cater to a similar audience (although Lego tries to reach a broader age-range), so I'd expect that if there (...) (21 years ago, 11-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego) !!

| | | | | (...) Great post! I completely agree. (...) Yeah, I thought the Designer sets were the best thing Lego's done in a few years. I hope they are doing well, and I hope they will create designer sets in more themes as time goes on. (21 years ago, 11-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

It can be a pair of legs for another Minifig, a torso with different arms for a spec. ops. cop in your city, a head for a thief in your castle (...) (21 years ago, 13-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

An onion dome piece can still be used as an engine on a space ship. And a Harry Potter head can be any other figure with (...) (21 years ago, 13-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

| | | | | | (...) I think that's why most of us loved the sets from the 80-90s period. There were only a handful of themes (Castle, Town, Technic, Space, Train, Basic) and there was so much room for creativity. Not saying that we can't be creative now, but (...)

I find myself saddled with a huge LEGO collection, but often wishing I had invested the money (...) (21 years ago, 13-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)
