Okay, so you're right about the 1998 thing, but 2003 are you crazy?!?!?! :)
I don’t want to buy the Orient Expedition sets, they look dumb.

Hey! I like the Stingrays! :) Although I can see what you mean a little...
Anyway, Aquasharks cooler than Aquanauts! :)

Ooh Pirates. Ahoy, Matie! Cool…

Those minifigs look cool, and the sets too! But that doesn't stop me from
liking 1997-1999 UFO and Insectoids! Blacktron II looks cool too. I wish the
trans yellow was trans neon green (antifreeze green) in the B1 sets.

Super Car... cool...

I'd say probably 1980's -1996. I LOVE 6380, 6598, 6625, 6337, 6335... (This
could go on forever you know...)

I like 1996-2002. I like the Cargo Railway and the Railway Express, wish I
had at least 1 of each :(

NO IT IS NOT FINE!!! :)

Well I can't! Take a look at 6332/6636 compared to 6598. 6332/6636 Elements:
271. 6598 Elements: 540. 6332/6636 are just one brick over having half the
elements 6598 has. And still, they look bigger than 6598! (A little…)

NO! Don't leave us kids stuck with Jack Stonehead, Gorm's Odor, (Galidor)
Riceheads, etc. I can't STAND it! Also Bio-nickel is getting dumb too, I
just like the weapons, as I can use them in Technic MOC's.

| (...) Well now that is kind of interesting. I always thought most people liked the trans-yellow better than the neon green. I know I do. I wonder what other people think about that? -Mike Petrucelli (21 years ago, 27-Apr-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space)
