  Re: AFOLs - The comic!
 
(...) LEGO is a major matter to me. However, building with LEGO is all about the limitations. If I was out to make the absolute best, most detailed, accurate model of something, why not do it from scratch? Kit-bashing, soldering, etc... So, now I (...)

  RE: AFOLs - The comic!
 
Great for people who have a vehicle yes.... I have access to a vehicle that I can use for work and school and that's about it. Besides it's about an hour and a half drive to 2 hour drive, which means 3 or 4 hours both ways, about 20.00 in gas which (...) (22 years ago, 26-Feb-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.org)
 
  Re: Not Pinewood Derby Cars!
 
(...) Ah, I remember Pinewood Derby! I won twice, and I spent about three years pushing for a Space Derby to be run, only to transfer up to BSA mere months before they finally ran one. Man, I was mad about that... Anyways, it'd make a great use for (...) (22 years ago, 26-Feb-04, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: AFOLs - The comic!
 
(...) These are great!!! I saw a reflection of myself, as well as many people I know in the community on this comic. The "issue" with the new gray was ver, very funny. Can't wait to see the final product, not to mention more new strips. Excellent (...) (22 years ago, 26-Feb-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.org, FTX)
 
  Re: AFOLs - The comic!
 
(...) Well, sure -- that's exactly why it hits so hard. If something's just a "day job", and some bureaucratic change causes disruption, one can easily shrug and say, "oh well, it's not like it's anything that *matters*". But seriously disrupt (...)

  Re: AFOLs - The comic!
 
(...) I was also concerned that the comic might portray our feelings about the color change in an unfavorable light. But after reading it, I was very grateful for the message that it conveyed to TLC employees: Lots of us are angry about the color (...)

  Re: AFOLs - The comic!
 
(...) Oh, give me a break. People taking this, or for that matter ANY, issue *so* seriously is starting to make me rethink *my* wanting to be a part of this HOBBY. This HOBBY with TOYS. --SteveR (22 years ago, 26-Feb-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.org, FTX)
 
  Re: AFOLs - The comic!
 
(...) Trust me, I'm more than familiar with Lego's short deadlines for comic strip production. Especially this week! I don't think I even remember what my bed looks like.

  Re: AFOLs - The comic!
 
(...) I never made fun of people who are concerned about the colour change issue. I point out the problems, and then end it with a funny punchline that certainly doesn't mock or belittle the character who is annoyed by the colour change. I can't see (...)

  Re: AFOLs - The comic!
 
(...) I love the comics. I think they are well drawn and cute. They can really help to get the point across about adults and LEGO. The megaBlXXks one was very funny. I am, however, rather offended that the artist feels it funny to joke about the (...) (22 years ago, 26-Feb-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.org, FTX)
 
  Re: AFOLs - The comic!

"Those who laugh together, stay together" I figured if I could get my colleagues laughing about these issues, they would stick in their minds a little more. Greg and I also tried very (...)
