  Re: Lego prices?
 
(...) Then I stand corrected, regarding Denmark and possibly other memberstates too. Thanks to Arne as well for his input. Out of curiosity: where is the danish contribution for the EU drawn from? Of course I now have to ask exactly why we're paying (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Nicely now. What do you think of the new colors?
 
Jake, You are a brave soul. I was going to stay out of this issue, however after seeing the colors in person I have one thought. THESE NEW GRAY COLORS ARE MEGABLOCK COLORS!

  Re: Nicely now. What do you think of the new colors?
 
I've already addressed why I don't believe the reason given for the new colors, so I won't get into that here. However... My wife is going be very happy this year as a direct result of the new colors, because I'll be buying much less new lego. For (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Nicely now. What do you think of the new colors?
 
I like the introduction of new colors (light yellow, sand colors, dark red), but to replace colors is something else. As far as I know, LEGO has only discontinued one color in the past (Maersk blue) and that is solely because it was a promotional (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Re: Nicely now. What do you think of the new colors?
 
I do not own any of the new colors, but one of my friends do, so I have seen them first hand. First off, I am annoyed at the REPLACEMENT of colors, due to the fact I have just about built up enough Dark Gray and Brown to build an entire creation in (...)

  Re: Nicely now. What do you think of the new colors?
 
1/15/04 To The LEGO Company: Thanks for addressing this publically. I really hope what we have to say doesn't fall on deaf ears. As a consumer, I have a choice on what I pay for, and right now I don't feel as though The LEGO Company's latest (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general)
 
  Mindstorms is NOT going away
 
Saw this (URL) link> on slashdot. Paraphrased: Mindstorms is a 'core' product that the company will continue to develop and support in the future. Oh happy day! JohnG, GMLTC (22 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

  Re: Nicely now. What do you think of the new colors?
 
Jake, Thanks for the "official" opportunity to be heard. I'll spare you the history, but suffice it to say that LEGO has been a part of my life for the past 34 years, and is one of the things that keeps me young. I posted a poll on LUGnet about this (...)
