(...) I think a statement like that could be read the wrong way out of context. AFOLs in general do spend a large portion of their LEGO budgets on new TLG retail products, but a growing percentage are resorting to spending money in fan-to-fan (...) (26 years ago, 20-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)

Hi everybody, It seems I have forgotten one point on the list: - AFOL's spend their money on auctions instead of TLG products. Please remember, I am only a designer at Futura. I am not a high placed marketing guy. It will take me loads of effort to (...) (26 years ago, 20-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) The B-17 doesn't have a nose gun or belly turret. I didn't want to alter the diver's bubble/nose piece (drilling) and I didn't have the right pieces (not yet anyway) to represent the turret correctly. As far as the trains go, I have a bunch (...) (26 years ago, 20-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Employed - yes. Healthy - not at the moment. Yes, Lego is a toy. But it isn't JUST anything. I don't spend thousands of dollars each year on things that aren't important to me.

(...) Well, sure, given TLG's current anti-builder/anti-AFOL stance on parts packs and bulk orders, I recognize that MT sets are sometimes good for parts. I'm much rather just buy the parts, though. I agree wholeheartedly with what you said in (...) (26 years ago, 20-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Absolutely. But what puzzles me are people who act as if the idea of re-issuing a set is something that would be totally alien to TLG. If that were the case then what was 2150? Some computer glitch that caused it to be rerun, albeit with (...) (26 years ago, 20-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)
