I have not integrated them into the rest of my collection though. I've kind of started a (...) (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  Re: How have the new colors affected your recent buying decisions?
 
(...) I've been bugging stores in my area to find out when these will be in stock. So far I'm being told April at the earliest. I am giddy about these little things. They just look like so much fun. Am I crazy to think that kids will appreciate not (...) (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  Re: How have the new colors affected your recent buying decisions?
 
(...) April is the official rollout, and that's generally the best you'll hear until your eyes tell you otherwise (I bought the TECHNIC R2-D2 two weeks before the official release month, and when I called Consumer Affairs to get an incorrectly (...)

(...) They are! (I got a set at Burlingon Mall in MA last week, and another red one just last nite at Mall of America in MA) (...) Nope, you aren't.

(...) In case no one has mentioned, these are also now available through S@H (the sets, that is, not the strap AFAIK). Maggie C. (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Wouldn't it be nice if this became a strong seller.... even for a couple of years? Maybe some Bionicle-like sales figures.... only with system pieces instead of theme specific parts. I'm not knocking Bionicle (I own a few) but rather I'm (...) (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  Re: How have the new colors affected your recent buying decisions?
 
(...) I don't think it has been mentioned in this thread, so good to point out. I'm trying to be really patient and not order that way. Not for any reason really except to support a local retailer who I know is getting them. They have treated me (...) (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  Re: How have the new colors affected your recent buying decisions?

  Re: How have the new colors affected your recent buying decisions?
 
(...) Funny, I'm trying to make an effort *to* order from S@H rather than purchasing LEGO, from Walmart especially, to try to cut out the middleman and support TLC.

  Re: How have the new colors affected your recent buying decisions?
 
(...) In my case it's a mom-and-pop toy shop. Very old school. You go in and the staff practically begs you to play with the toys or let them show you a magic trick.
