| Hmmm... I think the "average consumer" (and collectors alike) need to realize the position that LEGO is in. Under American trademark law LEGO must make a continuing effort to distinguish it's trademark. The company is probably posting statements (...) (19 years ago, 9-Sep-05, to lugnet.general)

| For me, it was the (URL) 6626 Rescue Helicopter> from 1981, and I was 10. I wanted the rotor-mount because it was unlike anything I had in my small collection up to that point. My mother asked me specifically whether I wanted the set for itself or (...) (19 years ago, 9-Sep-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.fun, FTX)

| (...) "protect and preserve a brand"... good grief. I've been saying "LEGOs" since I was 2 - as in "there are LEGOs all over the floor" or "let's play with LEGOs" - and I don't plan on changing any time soon. TLG should be happy that people are (...)

| Ya know, I have to agree with the comments on this site. The Lego Group should change their name to Sisyphus Inc. if they think that they have a snowball's chance in heck of ever changing the way their average consumer describes their product. (...) (19 years ago, 9-Sep-05, to lugnet.general)
