Funny you should ask. Unfortunately, I have not been able to put nearly the time into my LEGO hobby that I would like. I'm quite dedicated to my family and professional life. I do a lot of playing with my 4 year old & 6 month old girls. We often (...) (20 years ago, 8-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)

No argument about the new BNSF! I'm not even a Train guy but I'm sure I'll pick up a few of those! That new dark green color just looks delicious. Thanks for reminding me about the Land Busters set. I need to grab a few of those for the yellow and (...) (20 years ago, 8-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)

One thing I'm trying to do is actually get a project built *before* hitting BrickLink. I often find myself building something - then I cannot finish it because of lack of parts. So I go to BrickLink and drop $20 on parts. By the time the parts (...) (20 years ago, 8-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) ---SNIP--- If I have to sum it up in one word I would say WHATEVER! Not real sure when my fun of LEGO went down the tube. I've noticed that this year 2004 I've spend very few time using LDraw, making any BIs, and actually playing with the (...) (20 years ago, 9-Oct-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

I feel that somebody is not doing its job 100%. I surveyed all the store where Lego are sold in my area : WalMart, The Bay, Sears, Club Jouet, ToysRus. ...and I feel that somebody is dropping the ball as far as marketing goes. MegaBlok is taking (...) (20 years ago, 11-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)
