Check this out! It's SO cool! (URL) one, it's a LONG interview with the director of the White Stipes music video! Number two...he references the Sex Pistols...and they kept it in! WOW! Either someone slipped up (Sex Pistols ain't exactly kiddie (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

  Help with construction detail
 
FUT ---> .castle only Hi, folks! I'm in need of some suggestions as to how to attach this helicopter rotor: (URL) a Technic axle. The rotor is designed to fit on a pin and spin freely, I'd like to use it as the base for the vanes of a windmill and (...)

  Re: Steve Hassenplug on TechTV!!! (In a LUGnet T-shirt...)
 
Hi, My two cents : - Is there somewhere any video online from TechTV ? - Did someone else succesfully made one working ? Christophe (23 years ago, 18-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.general, lugnet.mediawatch)
 
  Re: Steve Hassenplug on TechTV!!! (In a LUGnet T-shirt...)
 
(...) YES!! Way to go, Steve. (...) It was *awesome* to see your models in action. :-) Made me totally want one. LEGO Company: take note! the RCX can impress without shooting household pets, breaking dinner plates, or videoing sis in bathroom (as (...)

  Re: Inferior colour rendering in this year's instructions
 
(...) I had this identical problem, so it's not just you. Certain colors are *horribly* rendered, such as the orange in the Star Wars mini sets (check out the pod racers-- the orange in Sebulba's racer is way off). It doesn't always lead directly to (...)

  Re: Slightly different picts for #4731
 
Wonder why LEGO went with (...) Not really... The (early) Lugnet version is from an early "leak" courtesy of 1000steine.de (which is why it is in German). The (later) Brickset version is the actual retail copy of the set. Lucious Malfoy is supposed (...) (23 years ago, 18-Jan-03, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Slightly different picts for #4731
 
(...) His name is Lucius Malfoy...and he comes from a very rich and prestigeous Wizarding family, so I guess his "snotty" behaviour is somewhat justified. Ben (23 years ago, 18-Jan-03, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Another "borrowed" picture...
 
(...) Oh I'd bet they read them and then ignored or didn't understand what they read. Of course, then again I've grown more cynical lately. Mike (23 years ago, 15-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Inferior colour rendering in this year's instructions
 
(...) Oh yeah... the quality of instructions, plus all the new colors, makes it difficult to build stuff sometimes. Back when there was only black, white, and grey, I had no problems telling the 3 apart. Now that they've added dark grey, I find (...) (23 years ago, 18-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Inferior colour rendering in this year's instructions
 
(...) I've had the same problem-I do NOT like the new color-confusion 'art' at all. I was trained in architecture in college & also took many art courses & did art on my own (& still do); A VERY important concept is to make one's ideas easily read, (...)

  Re: Inferior colour rendering in this year's instructions
 
(...) It's not just you it's impacted me, at least. I consider it a retrograde step too, it tripped me up confusing white and grey. Milton Train Works(tm) instructions will not use shading in the foreseeable future, I don't think... (23 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Inferior colour rendering in this year's instructions
 
(...) I've noticed that it tends to be particularly bad on slopes. If the sloped side is facing the light source (upper right, IIRC) then it is rendered about five shades too light. Rounded pieces tend to look really weird, too. In my opinion they (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Is the peeron news ticker having problems?

  Re: Now does this qualify as good Lego marketing?
 
(...) Where did you find this? In a retail shop? I was thinking that perhaps it was a gift from LEGO to some employee after 10 years of faithful service, or something of that ilk. That might make some sense. --Bill. (23 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)
 
  Inferior colour rendering in this year's instructions
 
While at LEGOLAND Windsor last year on 'business' I picked up a copy of the internal employee newspaper 'LEGO Life'. In it was an article about a new CAD system being introduced to create instruction diagrams, called 3D Vision. This year all the (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

  More Megablok...
 
I don't get what the Lego Magazine's obsession is with featuring models made out of Megablok. (URL) not as bad as if it were a Megablok set, but still... And it was featured as the picture in a 'Set Reviewer contest.' -JHK (23 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Slightly different picts for #4731
 
(...) It's Malfoy Sr. (can't remember his name) Very well portrayed in the movie, and he had blond hair, just like his snotty kid. Dave K (23 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.general)
 
  Slightly different picts for #4731
 
Was just telling a friend how I picked up several copies of #4731 (Dobby's Release) when I noticed that the picture on LUGNET was wrong. Compare: LUGNET: (URL) BRICKSET: (URL) minifig hair is black on LUGNET & blond on BRICKSET... the correct (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.general)
