(...) Not answering for Lawrence; these are my opinions. After I read the catalog, I was struck (and dismayed) by one thing above all: No new major System theme entries for 2002, except Harry Potter (which debuted early for film schedule reasons). (...)

I saw an Adidas brick (white soccer barrier) in the K8 pile at Brickfest last July. I'm not a Soccer collector so I assumed it was nothing new. The other two soccer barriers I found were advertising Lego themes (Arctic for one.) Personally, I can (...) (23 years ago, 11-Nov-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) They do show some spark, but not quite enough. I have some interest in the squid vehicle, which uses some very un-lego-like elements, but I still like it because it has style up the wazoo. But after the whole Ogel's Control Center (...) (23 years ago, 11-Nov-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Exactly- Lego sells sets to the mass market (where "mass" is a lot bigger than us). For some things that you can't get very well from parting out sets, Lego has put a high premium on them... and they sell. If you want a specific part that (...) (23 years ago, 12-Nov-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) "System" to me is more about an interconnected play world, with original, open themes, than it is about the particular form of the figures. Playmobil has its own "system," for example. Lego could conceivably develop a new one based on a (...) (23 years ago, 12-Nov-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) This logic doesn't necessarily hold true. How many products are sold by company owned stores? Resellers abound in many markets, for a variety of reasons. One of the biggest reasons is that they serve a niche part of some larger market. I (...) (23 years ago, 12-Nov-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) Indeed. They did it before. Ever see the figures available during the mid 1970's? They had Town sets, but no mini-fig as we think of it. And during the 80's, it wasn't called System with a logo. The boxes just had the word LEGOLAND stamped on (...) (23 years ago, 13-Nov-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)
