Most people love the idea of being able to design sets online and order them.
I don't like it. I might try it, but I really hope that TLC continues to
design sets to sell in stores. Here's why having all LEGO online would be
bad--
- They would charge shipping, and it would be in US$.
- Then I would have to wait a week to build my set.
- There would be no surprises in the construction. I would really miss that.
- Technic sets wouldn't feature brilliant mechanisms that hadn't already
occured to me. And I'm not good at designing Technic.
- Lego.com often requires certain programs, and doesn't always work.
- Not all kids even have the internet, I've heard. But, by 2002...
- No more excitement of finding a new set in a store. :(
- No more clearance sales! That wouldn't be fun!
and worst of all
- If all LEGO sets were personally designed online, how would my non-LEGO
family to give me LEGO for Christmas?
Please, please tell me that there will be new pre-designed sets filling the
shelves of Zellers and TRU in 2002! Buying bulk bricks is a nice option, but
it would be too far if the only way to get a new LEGO set was to design it.
I've probably misunderstood something here, but I need someone to tell me that
this isn't happening!

| One thing to consider is to look what is happening to the 'e-business' companies such as Amazon.com and Etoys.com. They are not making any $$. This Christmas is the 'make or break' for them to actually turn a profit. I don't see e-commerce taking (...) (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

| Yeah, I think you've misunderstood just a bit. I personally think it's a great idea. Why? Well, to be honest I wouldn't use it myself, but I don't think it'll replace the new sets. Lego is looking to expand itself, not radically change suddenly. (...) (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)
