Dear LEGO : 855


Dear LEGO / 855

Number one request for LEGO —Jason Maxwell
I just had a light bulb go off in my head. I'm reading all these requests for old sets/old parts from old sets. More than anything I would like to see LEGO make available ALL the minifigs that they've created since the minifig first appeared. If you (...) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

	Re: Number one request for LEGO —Mark Herzberg
	Great idea! However, my number one request would still be for the return of classic Town sets. Also, I am wondering, is there any confirmation that LEGO actually does just destory the molds when the piece goes out of production? How about pieces (...)

		Re: Number one request for LEGO —Mike Timm
		(...) I was under the impression that they only intered the worn out molds in the foundations of thier new buildings, not just destroy them when the "current run" of parts is complete. My bet is that any viable molds are merely stored awhile for (...) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

			(...) I'm praying for the discovery of the "slightly worn" classic window molds..... Gary Istok (25 years ago, 5-Jan-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

		Re: Number one request for LEGO —Jasper Janssen
		(...) Molds wear out. It may be 10.000 to 100.000 or even a million copies of a brick, but they do wear out. And once they're worn (which I suspect is earlier in TLG than with other mfg companies), they're not useful, and in fact, are nothing but a (...) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

			Re: Number one request for LEGO —Ray Sanders
			(...) And one would suspect that the worn out molds are in direct proportion to the quantity of a particular part produced. I.e., most (but not all) of the worn out molds are for basic bricks, not as many for special parts. Ray (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

				Re: Number one request for LEGO —Jasper Janssen
				(...) Not necessarily. I suspect they make the basic brick molds to last much longer than special piece molds. Simply a matter of cost-effectiveness of titanium-alloy diamond-coated molds ;) Jasper (25 years ago, 17-Dec-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

		Re: Number one request for LEGO —James Beerman
		(...) I definately agree. I enjoyed the older sets because they were more fun to build and I could do more with the pieces. Of course, until town Jr, I was always excited about the new stuff the would come out with. Jimmy (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

	Re: Number one request for LEGO —Matthew Miller
	(...) In fact, "more classic smileys" would be a good start. (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

		Re: Number one request for LEGO —Fredrik Glöckner
		(...) But there are usually a few sets available which have the classic smiley, aren't there? For example, right now the 1807 is available in Norway, and it is a cheap way to get the classic smiley. Fredrik (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

			Re: Number one request for LEGO —Eric Kingsley
			(...) 7130 - SnowSpeeder also includes a Classic Smiley for "Dack". I still don't like the idea of naming generic figs but I guess that doesn't matter to much. I definity liked it when all there were, were classic smileys. There was a lot less worry (...) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

				Re: Number one request for LEGO —Frank Filz
				(...) Of course the use of lipsticked heads in many sets lets you double the numeber of females produced by the set. Put the long hair piece on a smiley head, and the lipsticked head under a cap or other headgear. (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)
