  Re: Four sets reviewd, but only one good one, so be warned!
 
(...) The same "color issue" is visible on the grey (and presumably red although I dont own any of those) porthole pieces from the Santa Fe Super Chief set. (17 years ago, 4-Jan-08, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  Re: Four sets reviewd, but only one good one, so be warned!
 
(...) One issue may be the application of orange paint on a different material. We all know LEGO elements are made of ABS. However, windows are not made of ABS, they are made of polycarbonate(PC). As PC and ABS are different materials, application (...) (17 years ago, 4-Jan-08, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)
 
  Re: Four sets reviewd, but only one good one, so be warned!
 
(...) Indeed, they do! I raised this issue in a previous post when commenting on this set which I'd purchased: (URL) the picture, the front wheels are shown turned to the left, which is physically impossible as they are fixed on the model. I really (...) (17 years ago, 4-Jan-08, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)
 
  Newest Catalog
 
So I got the newest catalog tonight, and flipped through it . . . And suddenly, "What the [lenghty diatribe, of the flavor that got Marchetti banned, snipped]???!!!!!????!??!" Okay, I realize that there's been inflation, and it's been maybe a decade (...) (17 years ago, 1-Jan-08, to lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  Re: Four sets reviewd, but only one good one, so be warned!
 
(...) ::snip:: You raise an interesting point about the box art on the Bikini Bottom Express: at what point can it be considered false advertising, since the included model so obviously deviates from that pictured? On boxes of cereal, for example, (...) (17 years ago, 31-Dec-07, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

  Fake Lego sets on ebay
 
Just found out about some fake Lego sets that appear to be straight knockoffs of previously released sets. Here are two examples, but there are many running from the same seller: (URL) Technic 8289 fire truck> (URL) pirate ship> Just wanted to let (...)

  Re: Another Q for the Ambassadors to ask TLG, please?
 
In lugnet.ambassadors, Ross Crawford wrote: snip (...) If mold deterioration was the case, the "pits and mounds" would appear the same, just "flattened". The parts of the mold that makes the "pits" would be in contact with the molten plastic first, (...) (17 years ago, 11-Sep-07, to lugnet.ambassadors, lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  Re: Another Q for the Ambassadors to ask TLG, please?
 
(...) If you look closely at your photo, especially the corner slope, you'll see that the surface is mottled, not smooth like bricks. This seems to confirm that it is a consequence of the deterioration of the molds. But note also this (URL) pic (...) (17 years ago, 10-Sep-07, to lugnet.ambassadors, lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  Re: Another Q for the Ambassadors to ask TLG, please?
 
(...) I have noticed that too. I do not expect Lego to pay much attention to such a complaint or should I say as much attention as they did to the change of colors. They will probably tell you that in their research the kids liked the smooth rather (...) (17 years ago, 10-Sep-07, to lugnet.ambassadors, lugnet.dear-lego)
