Re: Say it ain't so... —Matt Hein
In lugnet.general, a bunch of people write: We seem to be at odds on everything... (...) Sounds like charlie brown's teacher, doesn't it? Perhaps an petition on Lugnet. I don't get this. It seems even if I'm just the smallest bit vague, people (...) (22 years ago, 13-Sep-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space, lugnet.castle, lugnet.town)

	Re: Say it ain't so... —Jack Millikin
	(...) Yeah, don't see why they wouldn't. If Lego put up a petition on their site with E-mail confirmation or something it would work really well. (...) They read .dearlego? Or are the messages just forwarded to an E-mail? (...) Yeah, but I have seen (...) (22 years ago, 13-Sep-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space, lugnet.castle, lugnet.town)

		Re: Say it ain't so... —Matt Hein
		(...) Definitely. If they ask the kids on the site what they want in a short enail message, and pick random petition signatures and read them, perhaps thy will get an idea that sets like Castle and space are still as popular as ever, and that kids (...)

			Re: Say it ain't so... —Dan Mattia
			(...) I'm a kid, and these crappy Galdidor/Bionicle/Jack Stone LEGO wannabes are very annoying! I just came home from school and on the table was the new lego magazine. I open it up...first page=duplo thing and some crap sets, labled as 'stupid'. As (...) (22 years ago, 13-Sep-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space, lugnet.castle, lugnet.town)

				Re: Say it ain't so... —Duane Hess
				(...) Wow! and to think I was looking at some of those Galidor pieces as cool Space parts. I seem to remember a big backlash when Bionicle was released. Now some of those "useless" Bionicle parts are sought-after Space accessories. (...) Tell you (...) (22 years ago, 13-Sep-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space, lugnet.castle, lugnet.town)

				Re: Say it ain't so... —Matt Hein
				(...) Definitely, I just can't see why some other people can't see through this argument. What happened to the traditional set? Now I'm seeing action figures and highly juniorized sets on the shelves and less themed sets. Not a good sign. (...) (...)

	Trimming the followups since it really doesn't belong in the theme groups. (...) I find this editing of my post to be highly offensive, and I'd appreciate it very much if you'd refrain from doing this in the future. (...) Still wouldn't work. There (...)

		Re: Say it ain't so... —Matt Hein
		(...) Just a joke, y'know...you should be a bit less serious about everything, and since people joke around on other forums, I thought you'd just laugh it off. (maybe that's why the rm2k and anime forums are so popular. Didn't mean to offend you, (...) (22 years ago, 13-Sep-02, to lugnet.general)

			(...) Actually is the cash cow not the one that generates the most profit, while the star could actually be called the "(rising) star" in that it is "hot" and generating attention, but not the most profit yet? (22 years ago, 14-Sep-02, to lugnet.general)

Yeah the cash cow is the product that is generating the most profit but in the mature stage of the product life cycle. Like you said the star is the (...)

	In lugnet.general, Matt Hein writes: <big snip> (...) Specifically which Galidor? There's not a Galidor set that would compare size-wise or price-wise with a Sopwith Camel, is there?

		Re: Say it ain't so... —Matt Hein
		(...) Well, that may be true, but to say if you wanted a construction set with more expanded functionality, or an action figure that could switch arms and legs with other action figures, and end up looking somewhat freakish. Which would you choose? (...) (22 years ago, 13-Sep-02, to lugnet.general)

			Re: Say it ain't so... —Richie Dulin
			(...) I think you're only proving to me that if I want a construction toy, then I'm better off buying a construction toy than an action figure. But I'm pretty sure I already knew that ;-) (...) Maybe. But you don't 'unlearn' French because you don't (...) (22 years ago, 13-Sep-02, to lugnet.general)

				Re: Say it ain't so... —Matt Hein
				(...) Of course so. The action figure thing just won't work in the long run. I could understand bionicle makingit, since its more of a buildingset than action figure contiguency, but the overall problem with Galidor, is that it doesn't entirely (...) (22 years ago, 13-Sep-02, to lugnet.general)
