 | | ACNielsen surveys - any winners?
|
|
Hi all, I have during the year or two answered to A LOT of the AC Nielsen surveys for LEGO sets, as I guess have most of you other AFOLS. Just out of curiosity: have any of you ever won anything? There's no limit date on the surveys, no clue on when (...) (22 years ago, 21-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) Um, could you be refering to (URL) by any chance? Of course, they'll be hard to find new in those colours soon :-( To save posting again, here's my wish list for what it's worth: 1) Any of the 'missing' roof pieces. By 'missing' I mean all the (...)

(...) On the subject of halves...a technic pin, with half a stud's worth of axle on one side and a regular pin on the other. Also a 3x3 corner. -Mike (22 years ago, 21-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Hmm, a la carte parts, let me see. 1. A 1x2 triple slope in 33 degree version would be handy. 2. Half of a 2x2 round brick. Perhaps it would be a 1x2 half round brick? 3. Half round plate to match macaroni radius. Called 2x4 half round plate? (...) (22 years ago, 21-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

In organizing my photos, I've been using descriptive identifiers such as "BricksWest-2003", "NWBrickCon-2002", and "BrickFestPDX-2004" in directory names and filenames. These get the job done, but they're becoming unweildy to deal with in long names (...) (22 years ago, 20-Mar-04, to lugnet.events, lugnet.general)

(...) The official reason given for the color change was that new colors were less "muddy" and would be more appealing to kids. No mention was made of the new colors being cheaper to produce (although that hasn't been denied). But Jake McKee has (...) (22 years ago, 20-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)
