(...) No, you began with a statement that I think was intended to imply quite specifically that I am a whining child. It was also in direct reply to my own post. As it turns out, I don't take offense because I don't even know you nor do I care what (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Brad Justus referred to the book, _The Tipping Point_. What if LD's point of view is that the AFOL market is not ready... yet? It was connected to Time's article, and some other book I haven't read. -Erik (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

It was a rhetorical question. Present audience excepted, but if the shoe fits, wear it. I'm sorry I got into this. The thing that gets me angry is whingers who reason like "it's so easy, X must be stupid for not doing it." (example: molding parts.) (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

| | Brickfest Pics: Two Cranes
|

Hey everyone - I didn't take many pictures at Brickfest this weekend, cause I was too busy checking out all the awesome MOCs and chatting with friends old and new. One thing I did take pictures of was Jennifer Clark's amazing Demag crane, with my (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.technic, lugnet.town)

Great post, Greg. And thanks for all the links! Very informative! Now on to my thoughts... At the first Brickfest, I thought the animation was the best part of the whole thing. Sure, I loved the other stuff, but I was excited by Thomas Foote's (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.animation, lugnet.events.brickfest)

This all comes down to "Wah, I can't have what I want". I wonder, who are the adults and who are the children here? In the light of "promises" from LD that didn't come to pass after several years (massive bulk program), and evidence that LD is not (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

Larry: Nothing personal, but this is the usual TLC/LD apologist stuff, so I will just ignore it generally. 1) Profiteering -- I don't care if they offer it as the official reason for some actions -- it's logically specious. Profiteering is an issue (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

Kevin Salm was good enough to refill the machine with his own elements (giving them away), so that others could enjoy the LEGO-vending experience.. Thank-you, Kevin!! (...)
