  Now does this qualify as good Lego marketing?
 
Hi everyone! Well, as we all know, Lego has really expanded its name with everyday names such as the NBA, MLS, Nike, Shell, etc. etc. But has Lego ever been involved in a poor marketing decision? I think I may have found one marketing decision that (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: XP and 1349 Steven Speilberg Moviemaker Set
 
The XP patch is now mention on the Lego Studios support page. But, you have to call them and ask for a CD. Why not make a patch for download, like everyone else ... ? Anywy, did anyone try the XP version? I still stick to Win98, partly due to the (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jan-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.animation)
 
  Raves for 3431 and Lego Basketball in General
 
I just wanted to take a few minutes and do some raving about how much I like the new Lego NBA Basketball sets. Initially, I had very little interest in the announcement of this new theme since I’m completely apathetic about the world of professional (...)

  Re: Brick Sorting
 
Be sure to check out this article as well. (URL) it is not an "all-purpose" sorting solution, the containers presented are pretty cool. Steven (23 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Brick Sorting
 
(...) If you were to come to my home (in New York state) you would find we have dozens of empty ice cream containers with lids. The sizes are 4 quart and 6 quart, are round, and will nest inside each other. But you will NOT find Lego stored in any (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Need help to guesstimate the size of my collection!
 
(...) My instant guess after seeing the picture was 100k, but the 125-150k that others are estimating sounds a little better. (...) Based on what you've said about your collection, I'm sure you're at 500k, probably more. My verified count (based on (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Brick Sorting
 
(...) Thanks for that idea! Never thought of skipping the lids to avoid storing air. /Tore Where I live, we have to pay SEK 10 (~US$1.10) for three candy boxes :( but they're worth it! :) (23 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Need help to guesstimate the size of my collection!
 
(...) Note - the blue Creator tubs can be compacted up to 5:1 if bricks are stacked, 4:1 with little to no stacking. But that's because 300 of the 1K bricks are 1x1s. (23 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Need help to guesstimate the size of my collection!
 
Dave, If your collection is 500K, then I'd better not even THINK about how large mine is ;-) Take your Iris cart collection, and multiply it by 3. That's all my new bricks. If I can get all the rest of the bricks into Iris carts, add at least what (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Need help to guesstimate the size of my collection!
 
(...) I'd second that guess. I have about 193K _that is identifiable_ as being in my collection, and it probably takes 2x your volume at least for storage. I'd guess I have more like 250K pieces, but that is a guess, whereas the 193K is a minimum (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)
