Jake, I filled it out. Something you really (and I do mean REALLY) need to take into account is the multiplier between how much I spent and the relative MSRP of the same product. Stuff I buy is usually on clearance, so while I spent $XXXX, the true (...) (22 years ago, 15-Mar-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general)

Hey Jake, Some vague points in the survey: Q2 asks if I'm in a local or virtual user group. If I say "both", meaning that in addition to taking part in LUGOLA (local group) I'm also a member of Lugnet, Classic-Castle.com, and FBTB.net forums, the (...)

(...) For me, the recent color change has contributed to me remaining in my 4th Dark Ages indefinately. That and all the yucky themes and sets that do not appeal to me as a 35-40 age group AFOL. If I had to pick one hobby nowadays, building plastic (...) (22 years ago, 15-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) 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)

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.
