(...) I understand where you're coming from Danny, but I've always found this response from TLG to be hypocritical to the max. At least half of the themes that TLG now produces is OVERFLOWING with violence! Okay, so they're not using modern military (...) (19 years ago, 3-Jan-06, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) In the 4403 Air Blazers set, there are a number of models (including the helicoptor and the large fighter jet) that are suggestive of military hardware without being actually military. (19 years ago, 2-Jan-06, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Ooh, Thunderbirds. What a great idea. With minfig Thunderbird characters of course. The Exo-force sets caught me by surprise in the local TRU. The staff had put the sets on different shelving from the rest of the Lego stock. The boxes are so (...) (19 years ago, 2-Jan-06, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) What would be a real bonus would be sets with seriously nice sorter trays, and the parts in bags inside them. One of my favourite things about the large buckets was the fact that the buckets offer more use than the simpler boxed sets. Also, (...) (19 years ago, 2-Jan-06, to lugnet.dear-lego)

1. Stop with the slapdash box packaging. Opening a box and finding a bunch of bags sloshing around inside feels very dismissive, plus you are guaranteeing that either the instruction manual and/or the sticker sheet will be crumpled/damaged. 2. For (...) (19 years ago, 31-Dec-05, to lugnet.dear-lego)

What I am suggesting is either: A new RIS 3.0 with new constructopedia and parts but same electronics. And an upgrade kit (like the one that went from the 1.0 to the 1.5) containg the new parts and constructopedia. OR A new kit with new parts and (...)

I would love to have electronically operated valves to integrate with the RIS. It is the one thing that would really make Lego pneumatics more viable to me. The light and sound battery box - single 9v battery - (URL) expansion set is a good idea, (...) (19 years ago, 30-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) I think some automation of the pneumatic parts would be a good step. For example an RCX-controled switch would be a very welcome addition. Right now I don't use my pneumatic parts much, because integrating them with the RCX is a lot of (...) (19 years ago, 30-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.dear-lego)

I really think the Pneumatic/RCX tie in set would be good - with all existing parts, items in the constructopedia on building Switches which can be motorized with Lego, a nice number of tanks, cylinders and valves and a simple old Light and Sound (...)
