Does *pure* mean sold by the LEGO company? Or does *pure* mean manufactured and
sold by LEGO? Or does *pure* mean made from ABS by LEGO company? For me it's
more the third one than anything. Other than instruction books and various
printed materials I'm not much interested in the purity of things that aren't
building elements. That's why I don't worry about my storage boxes (and other
things just related to the hobby) being unpure. :)
I just wondered if it wasn't something that a normal parent (handy with the
previously mentioned sewing machine) wouldn't be able to put together for a kid
who wanted one. Just thinking out loud.
All the best,
Allan B.
*** I'm wondering if this thread should get a new subject line. Something like:
"How have the new X-Pods affected your recent buying decisions?"
It seems to be something that most people are agreeing on. :)
