Re: ??? New Theme Proposal ??? —Sean Harrington

Yes, most excellent post, Richard. On the classic brick front, though, I sent an email to Lego direct last week asking for a Lego Sculptor kit. I suggested a set contained in a tub, like the 3033, but the elements would ONLY in one color and would (...) (23 years ago, 4-Sep-01, to lugnet.general) !!

Re: ??? New Theme Proposal ??? —Kenneth Wright

(...) I think this idea is wonderful and has definite potential for an official set. When I bought the LEGO Mini Figure Sculpture (Set #3723), I was floored by the instructions for the hat, which minus the visor, is half of a sphere. I think putting (...)

Re: ??? New Theme Proposal ??? —John Gerlach

(...) Great idea, but one potential problem: How could LEGO forecast how many of each color to produce? Personally, I'd love to get my hands on more of the 'earth tones' (brown, dark grey, tan, green, etc...) - but other people might be more (...) (23 years ago, 4-Sep-01, to lugnet.general)

LEGO Sculptor Proposal —Sean Harrington

(...) Not sure, probably the same way they do now for sets with more exotic pieces. (...) I don't agree with this at all. There is still plenty of profit margin in the 3033, so a $19.99 price for Sculptor would be great. But with the extras I am (...) (23 years ago, 4-Sep-01, to lugnet.general)

Re: LEGO Sculptor Proposal —Eric Lind

(...) He has? I perused his site, but I didn't come across it. I'd love to get a program to generate LEGO spheres, largely because I really don't have the time to write one, myself. (23 years ago, 4-Sep-01, to lugnet.general)

Re: LEGO Sculptor Proposal —Eric Harshbarger

As far as I know, I have not written a program to illustrate circles or spheres constructed out of LEGO bricks. I have diagrams of all circles of single brick width and even radii from 2 - about 48 which I made using Photoshop, but those diagrams (...) (23 years ago, 4-Sep-01, to lugnet.general)

Re: LEGO Sculptor Proposal —Sean Harrington

(...) Uhhh, I hypnotized you, yeah, that's the ticket! I hypnotized you and made you write a Java applet for my, uh, my wife, Morgan Fairchild. Yeah. My bad. Sometimes the myth overshadows the man. My apologies. (...) Yeah, so what're you waiting (...) (23 years ago, 5-Sep-01, to lugnet.general)

Re: ??? New Theme Proposal ??? —Jim Schifeling

I believe the single color tub to be the most favorable for a SaH exclusive but on store shelves it would be a flop. It would take too much floor space and how would a store order? Would a case come evenly packed? Many giant retail stores won't (...) (23 years ago, 4-Sep-01, to lugnet.general)

Re: ??? New Theme Proposal ??? —Sean Harrington

(...) Agreed. Althought I had never thought of Lego Sculptor as retail sets, I imagine that if they did, the case would (in the instance of the 3033 Blue Tub, 6 per case, I believe) include one of each primary color: white, red, blue, yellow, green, (...)

LEGO Sculptor —Sean Harrington

For those who want to to see LEGO Sculptor become a reality, vote for it at... (URL) for a bulk tub of bricks and plates of same color, 1200-1800 piece count, US$19.99 to US$29.99 price point, LEGO graph paper pad included, instructions for sphere, (...) (23 years ago, 5-Sep-01, to lugnet.general)

Re: LEGO Sculptor —John Gerlach

(...) 1200 to 1800 pieces at a $20 to $30 price point? Sounds great!! What about if it was 1200 to 1800 pieces at $50 to $80 price point? How good does that sound? I still say that the current 3033 tub is being sold for below or near their (...) (23 years ago, 5-Sep-01, to lugnet.general)

Re: LEGO Sculptor —Mark & Milissa Millère

Re: LEGO Sculptor —Sean Harrington

John, Melissa, & Mark, Good points on pricing, all of them. But I stand by the US$29.99 pricing for LEGO Sculptor, as I think it gives LEGO plenty of room for profit. Pricing elements as a percentage of quantity per set multiplied by the cost of the (...) (23 years ago, 5-Sep-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)

LEGO Sculptor - Element Inventory? —Sean Harrington

Speaking of which, does anyone have a rough concept of what 1200-1800 elements can build, sphere-wize? Does anyone want to take a swipe at a proposed element breakdown for LEGO Sculptor? Here is one I came up with: Size Quantity b2x10 8 b2x8 8 b2x3 (...) (23 years ago, 5-Sep-01, to lugnet.general)

Re: LEGO Sculptor - Element Inventory? —Martin Legault

LEGO Sculptor - Inventory & Exchange Rate —Sean Harrington

(...) I think lots of 1x1 bricks are important, for no other reason that they are your base 1x1 vertical element. If you want to have several 1x thin strands, the best way to do this is with 1x1 bricks. Even though the sphere is the main model, you (...) (23 years ago, 6-Sep-01, to lugnet.general)

Re: LEGO Sculptor - Inventory & Exchange Rate —Martin Legault

(...) I think that 1x4 and 2x4 increase will be good, I would prefer and tub without instruction, no propose model. If you want to make a sphere, use your imagination, that must not be that hard to do, unless you what it to roll for at least 10 feet (...) (23 years ago, 7-Sep-01, to lugnet.general)
