FUT: lugnet.events.brickfest "Christian Treczoks" <ct@braehler.com> wrote in message news:HsI25q.2zC@lugnet.com... (...)

Check out page 2 of this PDF in the Lego Press area: (URL) is a photo of a new F1 mini-figure set. The set depicts two real F1 team members, Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello. The set looks to me to use the same flesh colored ABS used with (...) (22 years ago, 4-Feb-04, to lugnet.general)

Seems like I can post again. I wanted to comment this, that I have tried something like this, taking parts with me. It works, but limited, as when I am building, I am also contructing, and since I only had some limited parts with me, my projects (...) (22 years ago, 4-Feb-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general)

(...) Not sure I qualify for "hard working" (possibly hardLY working), but as of right now, we don't have plans to stream a webcast from the live events. This is due mainly to limited equipment and the fact that we don't have some of the expertise (...) (22 years ago, 4-Feb-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.events.brickfest)

I'm thinking that there were no prior SW movie characters, which (...) (22 years ago, 4-Feb-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

All too often, it seems, corporations like to pretend that their biggest changes are entirely driven by internal decisions made in a vacuum; they seldom if ever acknowledge that a competitor's practices are (...)

(...) Depends upon which changes you are talking about. I would call Bionicle a radical change from System, and yet it is the most popular LEGO line. In any case, you are ignoring the fact that the world has changed radically in the past 20 years. I (...) (22 years ago, 3-Feb-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Well, I would assume this-- what else would motivate change? "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" (and, of course, it's cheaper to do nothing), and perhaps the concept of all yellow figs isn't necessarily "broke", but perhaps profits are. Perhaps (...)

Out of curiosity, does anyone suppose that TLG's decision to move toward flesh tones might have been, at least in part, motivated by the fact that successful competitor brands have been marketing flesh-toned figures for years? This, coupled (...) (22 years ago, 3-Feb-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)
