(...) I read it as regular yellow, not the light yellow. Light yellow could have been one of the pastel colors that was modified. I'll check on this. (...) OK, to clarify: What I'm saying is not that our quality control has gone out the window. The (...) (22 years ago, 19-Oct-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, FTX)

(...) On the flip side, I was very excited to see the 'outreach' that these types of sessions offer--how many companies do you know that allow a 'one-on-one' with a representative, free of charge? Especially one that we have a personal vested (...) (22 years ago, 19-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) Another "unofficial" response: I think we can all make the general inference that the sets were at once ordered and structured. Lego itself is too disorganized, it doesn't know its right hand from its left, therefore, you have a disorganized (...) (22 years ago, 19-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) This is not an "official" response, but I think that Jake was trying to say that the Yellow and Purple and some other non new colors had some quality control issues. I would also like to point out that these issues could be pointed to using (...) (22 years ago, 19-Oct-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, FTX)

(...) I don't know why I bother to read these sessions. I am usually left feeling worse about TLC than I would have had I not bothered. One exchange, in particular bugged me this time: [architect] ok, next to Jojo then [Jojo] Who is in charge for (...) (22 years ago, 19-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)

Eric Strand, who is helping me with the Lego CD (he's becoming a Samsonite expert) recently discovered some heretofore unknown Town Plan sets from the 1960's. The king of all 1960's sets was the Town Plan set with Town Plan board. In the USA/Canada (...) (22 years ago, 19-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)

| | Re: Scale
|

(...) Well as the dimensions of a minifig are nowhere near proportional to a human, it's difficult to get an exact scale. I've seen scales ranging from 1:40 to 1:60 look ok with them, I think most people tend to scale in the low 40s if they're (...) (22 years ago, 19-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)
