  Re: How have the new colors affected your recent buying decisions?
 
(...) My LEGO purchases are way down from last year as a direct consequence of the color change. So far in 2004, I have purchased a total of 3 4400 tubs. Compare that to last year, when I spent "mid three figures" every month on LEGO. There are a (...) (22 years ago, 15-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

  Re: How have the new colors affected your recent buying decisions?
 
(...) It has changed my buying habits not one tiny little bit. Of course, I do much of my buying at two distinct times (the Brickfest DC outlet trip, and pre/post christmas sales) so I wouldn't have bought that much 2004 product in the last few (...)

  Re: I need your help... and info!
 
(...) I filled it out, but it's not a truthful representation of my spending habits anymore. I put down my avg $10,000/yr spending up to 2004, but my 2004 spending will be MUCH, MUCH lower once all the 2003-previous sets are gone from retail. Maybe (...)

Hi Jake, I x-posted your message and a brief translation of the questionaire at the 1000steine.de/forum (URL) And I filled in the questionaire of course. One thing is missing: The curreny for the input of how much you spend on LEGO per year. Hope it (...) (22 years ago, 15-Mar-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Re: How have the new colors affected your recent buying decisions?
 
(...) As I noted on the one thread on lego.com, I have bought about $10,000/year for the last 6 years... So far this year, I have bought *zero* 2004 sets. I have bought some clearance Lego here and there to stockpile ODG (Old Dark Grey), but nothing (...) (22 years ago, 15-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  Re: I need your help... and info!
 
I found some of the Questions difficult to answer. Is posting to lugnet considered "belonging to a lego user group", or is this just refering to membership? I am currently a university student, and my answeres to some of the questions would be (...) (22 years ago, 15-Mar-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Re: How have the new colors affected your recent buying decisions?
 
(...) Well, I'm away from the US for the year, and LEGO is hideously expensive in the UK for an American. So the only thing I've bought since the mass of Hailfire Droids I got at Target clearance in January has been the new X-Pod set. I did get the (...)

  Re: How have the new colors affected your recent buying decisions?
 
My set buying days are over. I will not buy any 2004 or later sets until such time as the grey and brown colors are changed back to their original versions (which I expect will be never). I believe that if Lego as a company would make such poor (...) (22 years ago, 15-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) I answered based on the number of times there was a Brickish appearance. I hope this doesn't mess it up Jake. By the way - do we get to see the results? Psi (22 years ago, 15-Mar-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Re: I need your help... and info!
 
Another problem that no-one seems to have mentioned. My group (The Brickish.org) has appeared on television but if I choose to say that it has then next question is how many times I have appeared and doesn't give me option to say none.

(...) Maybe it should have been wise to indicate the currency you expect us to use when answering (the SEK is not the same as the $), or was this survey USA only, without mentioning it? -- Anders Isaksson, Sweden BlockCAD: (2 URLs) (22 years ago, 15-Mar-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: I want my money back!
 
(...) Hey, Terry! I had somewhat the same experience when building the new mini-ISD (4092?). I like (not love, just like) the set, and have bought several to try and build a mid-sized ISD. When building it, I hadn't built anything with Lego in over (...) (22 years ago, 15-Mar-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Re: I need your help... and info!
 
Done. I think your people will be surprised at how few of my Lego purchases are made at Shop @ Home or retail. (75% are made at eBay and BrickLink). I suspect there are many AFOLs with a similar percentage. (22 years ago, 15-Mar-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Re: I need your help... and info!
 
Thanks for the opportunity, Jake and keep up the good work. I truly believe that we AFOLs have been underestimated by TLC, so this is a great opportunity to let them know who we are. The majority of my purchases have been through retail and I've (...) (22 years ago, 15-Mar-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)
