 | | Request for Pirate Game thoughts and Player/Ship/Captain names
|
|

(...) After what I spent at the outlet last year at Brickfest, some people may be shocked to hear the following... (if you're faint of heart, please skip...) Sunday afternoon I commented to Stephen Roberts that in one way it was a shame Brickfest (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)

(...) How do you figure? A Seattle fest would attract people from Oregon, Washington, Canada, and some of the other Northwestern states. Seattle is about 3.5 hours north of Portland, and 2 hours south of Vancouver, BC. It would take me 14 hours just (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)

(...) I don't really understand this whole "kids these days grow up fast and go to video games, bypassing action figures and lego sets" thing. I doubt kids are growing up any faster than before. Growing up in the 80s, I had my video games as well as (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jul-01, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) I don't think your above inference is necessarily true. Hmm, I would think that would mean more adults are buying them who do not post here, and more are buying them who do not buy online. (23 years ago, 16-Jul-01, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.lego.direct)

Sorry I sniped everything out, too much to go through. One thing we should definately consider for this event is flexibility. Here in Lugola we have long strived to be as considerate to the distances people have to travel. It may be best to have (...)
