Thank you for your response -- we appreciate it. (...) I can agree with and respect your other points, especially regarding the retailer's catalog. That makes sense. However, this one doesn't.

Thanks for the extremely clear (and reasonable) policy on catalog scans. It is now clear that the retailer catalog is not to be shared (even old ones, I guess those need to come down) in any form. I hope that everyone who has continued to offer to (...) (25 years ago, 17-Dec-99, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.admin.general)

(...) 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)
