| | | | | I'm not sure what you mean by Freestyle containing "dopey" pieces? Freestyle is the mainstay of a lot of RTLers who refuse to pay exhorbitant prices for sets that contain very few bricks and a bunch of highly specialized pieces that have no/little (...)

| | | | | | Then why didn't my friend see the Freestyle sets and say, "Ah, that's what I was looking for"? Maybe because the models pictured on the set look like something that would interest a 3-4 year old. By "dopey" pieces I mean the patterns they slap all (...)

| | | | | | Well I can certainly agree with you in regards to the smiley faces and wheel assortment. And there are never enought windows in these sets (or for that matter in any LEGO set).

| | | | Lego needs to change the way it sells sets. Theme collectors(like me with castle sets) I begin to drool everytime someone offers older sets for sale. And I always seem to miss them. I called England and Germany about limited production runs. If lego (...) (26 years ago, 5-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)

| | | | (...) I agree that a classic sets line would rock, and probably do real well. But just because a handful of desperate AFOL's would pay $100 for 6074 (I wouldn't) that doesn't mean many other people would. Granted, though, they could sell them for (...)
