Hello! (...) Oh, people (kids, parents, non-AFOLs) are using "legos" all the time around here. It simply is shorter for "LEGO bricks" and everybody still knows exactly what this term ("legos") is referring to. As long as it's not used in official (...)

Dear LEGO, While shopping yesterday in a relatively new US WalMart store, I noted that the various sections of the toy department have little banner signs hanging out from the top of the stock shelves. These seemed to be placed in such a way so that (...) (20 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.dear-lego)

I agree with the letter and sign it. Ofcourse it's hard to identify with every detail and wording of such an elaborate letter on a complicated issue. For example, I wouldn't demand a return to the original colors, since the new colors are allready (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jan-05, to lugnet.color, lugnet.dear-lego)

I pretty much love LEGO unconditional. But the supply of the old colours will eventually run out. A lot of parts will not be available in the new colours for quite a while, so it is a problem for Moccers. How would you feel, if you had a car (...)
