Pardon me, but TLC offers something *better* than buckets-- bulk packs! I know
folk like to rail on about the slowness of this service being expanded, but step
back a moment. Three years ago we all would have killed for the possibility of
such a service to become reality! And now we have it. And we have the ear of
LD. And we are getting some of the most popular sets ever released *rereleased*
. And we are in the middle of the release of the most popular theme ever (SW).
And, as I'm told, we haven't seen anything yet!
Forget about juniorization-- think of it as Duplo senior and let it go. What's
coming down the pike is going to be awesome

| (...) The success of Bionicle is not the success of LEGO. It is the success of a line that is closer to action figures than building bricks. It's a sad day, not one to celebrate. (...) Do I read you correctly? You're saying he's asked for nothing (...) (22 years ago, 6-Dec-01, to lugnet.general)
