I am always looking for new places to purchase lego and came across the site www.theblockshop.com the other day. This site interested me mainly because according to the site, they are located around 30 miles from where I live and the fact that they (...)

Has anyone else on LUGNET built the new Designer set #4508, "Titan XP"? I built the giant robot, and it calls for four black 1x2 log bricks - but mine didn't contain any! Has anyone else experienced this? There's no inventory on Peeron, and I (...) (20 years ago, 9-Aug-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.build)

Hi Dan, Although this is speculation on my part, I believe KK2 is more expensive because of the packaging and playing cards. Some of the boxes have flip top lids which are die cut and are very glossy. All of the playing cards are glossy and die cut. (...) (20 years ago, 6-Aug-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

I was wondering why Knights Kingdom 2 is so "expensive". Compared to the new lets say Alpha Team sets ranging from $4-$60. Where as the KK2, which is non-liscensed, is $9-$90. There are many possibilties I personally can think of I was just hoping (...) (20 years ago, 6-Aug-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

I actually prefer the new dark grey (bley) over the old dark grey. You (...) (20 years ago, 3-Aug-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.castle, FTX)
