Dear LEGO: Is there anything you learned about the AFOL market in the last few years that really surprised you, really 'knocked your socks off'? JohnG, GMLTC (20 years ago, 12-Jul-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Hi Marlon, For the greatest part, you are right of course. For me, sets are only a bunch of useful (or useless) parts. So, it doesn’t matter in which form LEGO put it in a box. And I can take it or leave it. Their only mistake was the change (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jul-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Well, a lot of the pieces you showed would make sense to complete the Lego system. BUT we are talking of TLC, so waiting for a solution that would make sense is most propably a waste of time. Unless of course they would need one of the bricks (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jul-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.org.ca.parlugment)

(...) Thanx to everyone who replied! I'm glad to hear from those on both sides of the fence... After making my post I started thinking more about what Lugnet is for, and voicing likes and dislikes is amongst them... so I hope I didn't rub anyone the (...)

(...) What you have to look at is the age ranges. Harry Potter, which is similar to older castle in complexity and use of parts, is 8+,7+,8+. Knights Kingdom is 5+,6+,7+. Its one step up from Jack Stone. If you want to compare the old castle stuff (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jul-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) Agreed. I'd like to mention: a) 4496 Tub. Same price, more actual brick material. Less 1x1 and 1x2's over the 4107. b) 10152 Maersk Ship. Amazing set, great pieces. c) The entire 2003 line. Calum (20 years ago, 8-Jul-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

I'm somewhat of a lurker, but I saw this as a message I just couldn't ignore. I'll agree with Felix that the new sets, especially the Grand Tournament one, just don't live up to the old castle standards. I recall being disappointed with the first (...)
