(...) Very cool! What about A.T.L. (Alt.Toys.Lego) News group? It might not been as big or popular as R.T.L. in 1994. But A.T.L. did come before R.T.L. a year before or about the same year as R.T.L. As I can remember or recall the first Lego chat (...) (14 years ago, 6-Jan-11, to lugnet.general)

i understand that any submissions we sent to the LEGO(R) Design Challenge became property of the lego group. does that mean we can't post pics of the submissions now that the contest is over? my submissions weren't terrific but i'd like to show them (...) (14 years ago, 6-Jan-11, to lugnet.general)

(...) I hate to point this out.... but its called a price adjustment. If there is a high demand for a certain product, why wouldn't the company increase the price... sure its a case of the "greedies" but they aren't a charity case. You have (...) (14 years ago, 2-Jan-11, to lugnet.general)

Don't even think of sweating your 2.99 price. It was 2.99 here in Canada (where uSD/CAD are almost par!!!!) for the first 2 series, and will hit 3.49 for series 4. So you can stop your whining, unless you live north of the Canada/USA border! he he, (...) (14 years ago, 29-Dec-10, to lugnet.general)

(...) True the $1.99 was a much better rate for the US. I realize Lego is a corporate and naturally they need to make a profit -- and more importantly maximize it. But in the 21st century, they may need to factor in ubiquity of information and how (...) (14 years ago, 29-Dec-10, to lugnet.general)

(...) Yep-- I think they started this in 2004 with 10123 Cloud City. As I recall, Boba Fett's arms had some printing on them in that set. However, one thing I noticed that they're doing that's new is sometimes printing on the SIDES of the minifigs' (...) (14 years ago, 27-Dec-10, to lugnet.general)

(...) Yeah, I forgot the VAT, sorry, but my comment was to the $1.99 - we paid 25 SEK for that series. The VAT is 25% on the net price, so 20% of the total. That means 20 SEK before VAT. With todays exhange rate that's $2.92 compared to your initial (...) (14 years ago, 26-Dec-10, to lugnet.general)

(...) *pulls out well-worn soap box* Okay, here's how it works. TLC has internal costs, and they have to make sure that they cover those costs and make a profit beyond that when they sell their products, so they have a wholesale pricepoint in mind (...) (14 years ago, 26-Dec-10, to lugnet.general)

(...) I had to reply, since it looks like $3.52 works out to be cheaper. If I account for VAT (25% for Sweden?) you get $2.82. In the case of US prices, without tax it is $2.99. I agree the math does not work for all Lego sets. But that maybe a (...) (14 years ago, 25-Dec-10, to lugnet.general)
