Howdy All-
I'm no Rock Raiders fan, however I just noticed that the Lugnet group for Rock
Raiders is named "lugnet.underground". Was this Lugnet group named prior to us
knowing the offical Lego® name???

Rock Raiders™ is the name of a play theme (the first released play theme)
within the LEGO SYSTEM™ Underground product category.


The aquazone group is named just that, not the underwater group (Even though
it is hardly used).

That's because Aquazone is the name of the product category.  Underwater
isn't the name of the product category.


I suspect the name for
the Rock Raiders group, should be changed to "lugnet.rockraiders".  What does
everybody else think???????

No, Rock Raiders is at a lower level than Underground, just like Ninja is at
a lower level than Castle and Stingrays is at a lower level than Aquazone.
In other words, if there were groups for Rock Raiders, Ninja, and Stingrays
(and there well be someday in the distant future), they would be:

   lugnet.underground.rockraiders
   lugnet.castle.ninja
   lugnet.aquazone.stingrays

- ThrowBots/Slizer are part of Technic.

- Znap is not part of Technic.

- MindStorms is a whole separate product programme.

- Belville was once part of SYSTEM, but is now officially categorized
  separately.

Hope this helps!!

(...) Todd, the tree outline of ALL the themes helped immensely. Now I have the BIG picture in one place. I suggest this get added to an FAQ (if it isn't already) or be made into a webpage for Lugnet off the main page. <ICS> (25 years ago, 5-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)

Todd - Should there be an 'Expert Builder' category near/around Technic? I've got a few of them (like the first car, and that blue go-cart) and box says 'Expert Builder' and not Technic. Just wondering. Tom (25 years ago, 7-Nov-99, to lugnet.underground)
