  Re: Weetabix Sets
 
(...) You're right. It's rolled wheat flakes pressed into a rectangular bar shape with rounded ends. The website's here: (URL) used to go past the only factory that made it in the world on the way to school. Although people usually add some jam, (...) (21 years ago, 30-Nov-04, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Color change: Let's go straight to the CEO!
 
Hi Scott, Out of curiousity, I then ask, why is, for example, the engineer from 'Spiderman's train rescue': (URL) Flesh coloured? Is he a specific character like say, Peter Parker or Harry Potter? Samarth SNIP (...) (21 years ago, 30-Nov-04, to lugnet.color, lugnet.lego, lugnet.general)
 
  Color change: **CEO Draft Letter**
 
I've drafted a letter, and had my wife review for grammar, context and presentation. By way of credentials, my wife has worked as both a full time external communications, and internal executive communications writer in a Fortune 100 company for (...)

  New link button etc..
 
Hey friends. I just made a new link button for zemi. Please grab it for your site and update the link. I thought I'd also remind you guys that I'm accepting link submissions. Feel free to drop by and add a link and return the favor on your end if (...) (21 years ago, 30-Nov-04, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.announce, lugnet.general, lugnet.space, FTX)  
 
  Re: Color change: Let's go straight to the CEO!
 
(...) Actually, The yellow minifig is not dead. I recall Jake mentioning at a Brickfest convention that the flesh-colored minifigs are only done when there's a likeness to a person, either in real-life or as an actor/person in a licensed product.

  Re: Customer petition?
 
(...) That's always been my understanding as well. Technically they can street anyone they wish (although it can get tricky without a defensible reason that doesn't appear discriminatory). Anyhow, in a mall you would probably need permission to set (...) (21 years ago, 29-Nov-04, to lugnet.color, lugnet.lego, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Customer petition?
 
(...) I see. Well, it's something we should look into but that all sounds about right. And I think it's definitely important to conduct the survey/petition as professionally and unobtrusively as possible. (...) Yes. We would have to be clear to TLC (...)

  Re: Customer petition?
 
(...) I also believe that is correct. I'm not sure that most malls are actually public property though. Although the "public" is invited to shop there, it is still a private business, and you may be asked to leave unless you had permission from the (...)

  Re: Customer petition?
 
(...) I could be wrong but it was my understanding (as a former petitioner for the Libertarian Party) that if you are on public property, permission is not required. However, you can be asked to leave if you are disruptive (block pedestrian flow, (...) (21 years ago, 29-Nov-04, to lugnet.color, lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Re: Customer petition?
 
Hi Jake, There was the suggestion of a petition to the company and someone mentioned petitioning parents. One thing that came to my mind is trying to collect signatures at or around the Legoland theme parks and Lego retail stores. I imagine that (...)

If you need the letter translated into danish I'll be willing to help you out. Just email it to me, ok? (21 years ago, 29-Nov-04, to lugnet.color, lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

  Re: Color change: Let's go straight to the CEO!
 
(...) Has it been a year already? wow. I've been away for a long time. I totally avoided the color battle because I didn't want to get upset. Just recently, I returned to buying large amounts of LEGO elements for those "spring cleaning" boxes. I (...) (21 years ago, 28-Nov-04, to lugnet.color, lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)  
 
  Re: I love Lego
 
(...) I concur. I offered this as a discussion point before, with little to no takers. Overseas production by Oxford / Brick makes "spot on" classic grays. You want classic colors, approach them for a bulk order. I don't see copyright infringement (...) (21 years ago, 28-Nov-04, to lugnet.people, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Sort-of-poll: Your most common Lego dream?
 
(...) Hi Dave, I dream about LEGO from time to time too, sometimes I wake up and hate it when I realise it wasn't true :( The most common LEGO dreams I have are 'I am somewhere in a place I have no idea in the real world but seem to know in my (...) (21 years ago, 28-Nov-04, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Color change: Let's go straight to the CEO!
 
(...) Hi there, I understand this situation... love it or hate it... the colours I'd like changed back, light/dark grey and brown, also minifigs to be as they are known and loved 'yellow'. For me that represented something different, no-one is (...) (21 years ago, 28-Nov-04, to lugnet.color, lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Re: TRU 500 piece bonus bucket question
 
(...) Hi Jonathan, I went through my bonus tubs and found the piece of which you speak only in the one 2714. Four 2814s didn't have any. But don't despair, there's plenty of variation in the bonus boxes. Peace and random selections, Ley, aka (...) (21 years ago, 28-Nov-04, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: I Just Don't See It
 
(...) Peter I agree. I too have a lot of old bricks. Many of the white mint bricks I have from the 1970's have "tanned" as well, due to sunlight. Interestingly enough, I think that Cellulose Acetate white bricks keep their whiteness better than ABS (...) (21 years ago, 27-Nov-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Re: I Just Don't See It
 
(...) This causes a big difference. Do not be fooled, this is the most annoying thing about building white models for me. A lot of my Lego is 20+ years old and has been in direct sunlight. The white is a totally different colour, it's really (...) (21 years ago, 27-Nov-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Re: Sort-of-poll: Your most common Lego dream?
 
SNIP (...) Hi Jeff, A grim scenario :-) I had a lego dream too, a few weeks ago. It was very strange. There's this loco I'd been working on, and I've taken a printout of a real world picture of it for the build. Anyway, in the dream, I realised that (...)
