(...) Well said, Will. Although I don't spend as much as you (maybe 50% of your spending amounts), I agree with you on all points. I'll buy the sets with the original colours, but once they're gone, no more retail purchases for me. The upcoming (...) (22 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

Hi Dave, (...) because patents run out after 18 years, fortunately. (...) It's not, that's how patents are supposed to work. You get a monopoly for a certain time, and after that it's free for everybody. So if you want to keep competition at bay you (...) (22 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)
