Jeez, Stephen! Granted my post wasn't positive, but I think you now look the bigger whiner here. In my post I addressed completely legitimate complaints with a product I've loved for decades (and which I feel completely justified in offering an (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jul-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) Not true. I've been collecting since the days of the maxifigs and non-articulated minifigs.

(...) Bam! There's my objection, I think. Lego used to be more of a system, and it's gradually turning into several different systems. It's not that they're not compaitable, it's that they're LESS compatible, or less related. Studded beams, while (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jul-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)
