OK, it's time for my annual complaining about the first year of Lego in the USA..... The first Lego sets were sold in the USA in 1961. Most of the parts were produced from a Samsonite plant in Stratford Ontario, with specialty parts coming from (...) (19 years ago, 10-Apr-06, to lugnet.general)

(...) Janey, interesting questions, and I will not respond to them individually, but just give my overall "feeling" about things. I am not currently under NDA to TLC, but I have been in the past. As far as the interaction that happened while I was (...) (19 years ago, 10-Apr-06, to lugnet.general)

(...) Well not all the "AFOL big mouths" are in the program! ;-p As someone who's done his fair share of "positive critiquing" of TLG, I unfortunately have been busy mapping out the proverbial "Lego Genome" (all Lego sets/elements ever produced (...) (19 years ago, 10-Apr-06, to lugnet.general)

(...) That's a good question. It's been a long time since I was 'prolific', but I am in the MDP. In general, NDA's cover confidential information actually disclosed (on purpose or accidently), not other informaiton. The problem comes in keeping (...) (19 years ago, 10-Apr-06, to lugnet.general)

(...) Interesting questions. The NDA/Ambassador phenomenon does seem to have created an in-group and an out-group among AFOLs, and a certain amount of distrust both between and within them. I feel bad about it, but I can't help but discount the (...) (19 years ago, 10-Apr-06, to lugnet.general, FTX)

After an interesting chat about "Fan involvement with TLC" the other night, a few concerns/questions came up, and I can't seem to shake them. Historically a large portion of AfoL/ALE's have wanted a closer relationship with TLC and over the last few (...) (19 years ago, 10-Apr-06, to lugnet.general) !!

(2 URLs) My students just completed two medium-size LEGO mosaics (which saved me a lot of thumb-pain). Both will be displayed at a LEGO event at UNLV next month. Each is 30" square, is built on four XL baseplates, and uses about 9.000 pieces. I (...) (19 years ago, 10-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mosaic, lugnet.general, FTX) !

I don't know if anyone else feels the same way, but I really wish people would always give a link to the folder for their MOCs on the BS Gallery.
