(...) For anyone who loves the classic minifig, you better check out this new "Jack Stone" line minifigure. In my opinion, it looks like the minifigs days are numbered! Daniel (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2001)

The minifig is fine - remember that I had noted that Jack Stone is intended to be a stepping stone from DUPLO to LEGO - this kind of fig is for this kind of product only. (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2001)

Jack Stone seems to be a lot closer to playmobil than lego in my opinion. I've bemoaned the quality of Lego system sets for some time now, and in the past I've even said the sets were getting more like playmobil than lego in that they can really (...)

Isn't anyone paying attention to what I had said? Jack Stone is intended to bridge the gap between DUPLO and LEGO - these kinds of sets ARE NOT replacing what you are used to seeing from LEGO System. (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2001)
