 | | Dino Island opens at Legoland CA
|
| WOW! I am very impressed with the new Dino Island area at Legoland CA! The coaster is very fun, digging for the 'fossils' was fun, and the water balloon catapult thing will be a big hit in the summertime! You can tell they juuuust got the area ready (...)

I know they have had a store since 2002: (URL) have never known Lego to say where they were going to put a store, heck - they really do not even tell you that when it opens - you (...)

You know, the one that leads in economy, population, culture etc. :) It only makes sense that you'd go for Toronto: If you had to pick a place with (...)

Of course, no one can be interested in every hobby there is, but usually people can understand an interest in someone else's hobby. A person who doesn't like (...)

| | | | | whats up with the rollout of the Lego Stores?

| Why is it that (acording to an official page at lego.com), Russia (of all places) is getting a Lego Store (in moscow) but countries with probobly a much greater market (e.g. Australia or Canada) arent? (22 years ago, 5-Apr-04, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.loc.ca, lugnet.general)

| I'm sure this has been asked before, but will the Lego Company ever make new types of parts that AFOLs like us have suggested? I know they're not allowed to just take ideas and use them without a legal agreement, but is there a legal framework for (...) (22 years ago, 4-Apr-04, to lugnet.general)

If I don't have specific parts in particular color, I try to build the model using a different colorscheme. (I (...) (22 years ago, 4-Apr-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.inst)

| (...) This is an interesting topic--I've also been talking about the hobby with a lot of non-AFOLs over the last few months.
