I would hope that Jeroen see these posts not as anger, but as frustration, and takes them with a grain of salt. But YES, more TLGers need to be aware of this in one way or another. I think it MAY be time for a new newgroup, as dear-lego may not cut (...) (26 years ago, 19-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Yes, and before someone writes this off as "the adults were there with their kids".... UH-UH. I HAVE no kids, and quite a few BA TLGers were there without kids. I'm sure there were others there without kids that weren't with the BA TLGer (...) (26 years ago, 19-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)

Hello all, Re: Model Team/Technic Love (and frequently buy) both of them. Re: old set re-releases No, I don't like the newer sets as much as I like the older sets. But there are many things for which I prefer older to newer, not just Lego. For (...) (26 years ago, 19-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Um, Nissan/Datsun 240ZX ;-) Nissan is buying all the originals they can find, and rebuilding them and selling them. They have to buy old ones to rebuild because too many of the molds/stamps are GONE. I don't think TLG would have that problem. (...) (26 years ago, 19-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Ah, but you've BOUGHT other MT sets - 2 5571s at least. Granted, they were on clearance, but TLG still got paid for them. And every MT set you buy for parts STILL gets money to TLG. So I would think you would be FOR MT sets, if for nothing (...) (26 years ago, 19-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) I'm not a collector, but I buy older sets because of the fantastic models they have, especially compared to much of the current line. Re-release of older sets is not as big on our lists as new sets with the same quality as the '80s line-up. I (...) (26 years ago, 19-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) NOTE, however, that if TLG sold more parts packs, or sold in bulk, our total dollar purchases *DIRECTLY TO TLG, rather than third parties* would increase an enormous amount.

Fellow LEGO Maniacs, I've agreed with everyone's comments, but I think we should go a little easier on Jeroen. As he's said, he will ignore most, if not all of the non-Technic related feedback. Maybe we're giving Jeroen more influence than he really (...) (26 years ago, 19-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)
