  New S@H Catalog
 
I received the January Shop at Home catalog today. All of the new LoM sets are shown as are the Mosaic and the new Dragon figure. Probably the biggest news is the Train building contest. Three age groups: 7-12, 13-17, 18+ The winners will have their (...) (24 years ago, 30-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: New S@H Catalog
 
(...) Hmm... tempting. Na, 100 bucks isn't enough comp to lose the rights to one of my designs. ++Lar (24 years ago, 30-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: New S@H Catalog
 
(...) Yeah, I would be nice if one did not have to give up the copyright for one's design. Additionally, I am guessing that this phrase is fairly standard, but the fine print says, "Winners assume all liability for any injury or damage caused, or (...)

  Re: New S@H Catalog
 
Well seing i am the only 12 year old who actually builds trains for shows, i think i would have a good chance for the 7-12 age group. I highly doubt there are any 12 year olds out there that are as good as people here including me ! (...) Maybe we (...) (24 years ago, 30-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: New S@H Catalog
 
(...) Whew. Well for a sec there I thought I wouldn't be able to enter my "poke your eye out with a sharp stick flatcar load"... (...) Based on what we've seen in the mania magazines, I suspect the answer would be "potentially quite a bit". ++Lar (24 years ago, 30-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

  Re: New S@H Catalog
 
(...) I find this phrase pretty funny. You surrender all rights to your design, yet you are still responsible for it for any damages that may be incurred. I wonder if that flies in court? I assume it's to cover instances where someone submits a (...) (24 years ago, 30-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: New S@H Catalog
 
(...) You're right, I don't want to be loose against you, too much chance of damage, I have a lot of parts that might break off. But I'm not worried about losing against you in the over 30 group, since there isn't one. There's just an 18+ one, and (...) (24 years ago, 30-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  Re: New S@H Catalog
 
(...) You miss the point. 1. It's an honor which is worth more than money can buy. 2. Maybe it's 100 bucks *at their price* for bricks.... (goes a looong way) 2. Here's a chance to design a set that has *great parts* in it-- think of it as an (...) (24 years ago, 30-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: New S@H Catalog
 
(...) <butts in> No way! Even though I don't own *any* train sets, look out for the Raw Material Shifter in the 13-17 category. I don't really think I need those unimportant pieces like wheels or track.. I've found a way around them. (24 years ago, 30-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)
