Brad, Well, this is interesting, but I have a hard time believing this. Maybe I am too skeptical. I think the majority of AFOL's here are frustrated with TLC's lack of attention to us and our needs / wants / desires. I was rather flabbergasted the (...)

Dear ?: Does anyone have any proof at all that TLG does anything more in depth as regards AFOL than merely read Lugnet or RTL? I mean, I could see them doing that much to get good ideas for future sets if nothing else, sort of a real world R&D lab (...) (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

8 Years is probably right: EP1 = 1999 release EP3 = 2005 release They'll probably want to sell EP3 sets for at least a couple of years, so, let's say through the end of 2006 1999 to 2006 = 8 years. Maybe longer, could go through 2007 easily using (...) (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)
