 | | Brad's talk —Larry Pieniazek
|
| | | Here is a rough transcription from Brad's talk at LegoWorld 2003 on Saturday evening. Sorry it took me a couple of days to get net access (we're dialed in from the ldraw.org booth on the show floor at last... long story, the fast connection did not (...)

| | | | | (...) I wonder why that is (the SKU crunch). (...) Some of the dark blue parts that I have (from R2D2) are all over the map consistancy wise. There is an issue here. (...) Bummer. They really don't get it do they. Mac is the premier OS on a PC. Lego (...) (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.events.legoworld)

|
| | | | | | | (...) Not to get into an OS war, but Lego's frequently said they tailor towards the large market group (which is why so few of the AFOL demands get incorporated). The Mac market probably just isn't big enough for them to justify the development (...) (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.events.legoworld)

| | | | | | (...) Premier doesn't necessarily equal dominant. (more's the pity, sometimes) Given that DD is free on the PC, how much would you willingly pay for DD on the Mac? If your answer is "it should be free" then it should be clear why they didn't do it. (...) (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.events.legoworld)

|
| | | | | | (...) See Jake or Kate (i think) for official rules but the gist is this, I think (corrections welcomed) - one set of instructions only, the ones already in the box, no bringing in multiple instruction copies or using a presplit copy - the timer (...)

| | | | | (...) I visited LegoWorld yesterday and also filled a bag at the Pick A Brick in the InterToys shop inside LegoWorld. I managed to get 327 bricks, including lots of 2x3 bricks and 2x8 plates (thus not only small parts), in the bag. That only for (...) (21 years ago, 21-Oct-03, to lugnet.events.legoworld)

Of course my 20 Panel Wall 3 x 4 x 6 DkGray, 10 Brick 8 x 8 and 47 Brick 1 x 16 DkGray did lower the possibilities some :) Today I found another store that has (...)

| | | | (...) FYI: Telling from the pictures, the Swedish boxes are the same (both box and type of pieces) as those at LEGO WORLD. Also, the boxes were specially printed with full-color art. So appearantly, this wasn't a singular opportunity, but it's a new (...) (21 years ago, 22-Oct-03, to lugnet.events.legoworld)

| | | | | | (...) Ah, sounds chaotic enough :) The only thing we did was support the box a little on the side with a BASIC-bucket so we more easily could dig the corners. I'd love to empty the whole box into a larger container or move it part by part so nothing (...) (21 years ago, 22-Oct-03, to lugnet.general)
