  Why doesn't LEGO sell bookmarks?
 
I ran out of bookmarks tonight. :-( I'm sick of getting free bookstore and coffee shop bookmarks, so I paused for a moment to grumble that TLG doesn't sell LEGO bookmarks. I wanna see a bookmark with the big red LEGO logo at the top and cool LEGO (...) (26 years ago, 5-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)

  Dacta in Canada (again)
 
Thank you to all who helped me earlier when I was looking for a way to get Dacta in Canada. I contacted Spectrum, the distributer for LEGO/Dacta in Canada, and they promptly sent me their '98/99 catalog (actually, they sent me their French one with (...)

(...) Wow. A third reason to venture that far north. Might just have to plan a trip sometime soon. So far I have Rachael's family in CT and Enfield. Now this. Mmmmm..... (26 years ago, 5-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Legoland passes in the mail?
 
(...) Maybe they'll have some of the discontinued sets that are still available through S@H, like Royal Knight's Castle?

  Lego arches
 
Hi, I was playing with the pieces from a 5571, and noticed the great setup for the 5th wheel. While looking at the other arches, I noticed that a 3stud wide one is missing in this set. Did Lego ever make a smooth 3stud arch? ____ |oooo| Cheers, (...) (26 years ago, 5-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Legoland passes in the mail?
 
(...) I wonder what they mean by "selection of Lego"? Does it include DACTA products? If it doesn't, then The Construction Site in Waltham, Mass. has the largest retail selection of LEGO in the entire U.S. (They have more shelf space devoted to LEGO (...)

  Re: This is why TLG lost money
 
Then why didn't my friend see the Freestyle sets and say, "Ah, that's what I was looking for"? Maybe because the models pictured on the set look like something that would interest a 3-4 year old. By "dopey" pieces I mean the patterns they slap all (...) (26 years ago, 4-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: This is why TLG lost money
 
I'm not sure what you mean by Freestyle containing "dopey" pieces? Freestyle is the mainstay of a lot of RTLers who refuse to pay exhorbitant prices for sets that contain very few bricks and a bunch of highly specialized pieces that have no/little (...) (26 years ago, 4-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)
