| | Where to send broken parts for replacements
|
|
Hello, I know that I've heard before(excuse me-SEEN:-)on Lugnet that the LEGO company has an address at which you can send broken parts for replacements. I recently broke a control stick piece and would like a replacement. Does anyone know the (...) (26 years ago, 1-Aug-00, to lugnet.lego)

I would add to Larry's statement about life being much richer. LUGNET has enriched my life and LEGO's pockets. Being able to share ideas with like minded people (train heads in my case) has made my LEGO hobby a great deal more fun. Before finding (...) (26 years ago, 1-Aug-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

| | Bulk Ording Downside?

I just wanted to voice my concerns about the aparent downside to the Lego Company's new method of selling parts. While I love the idea of being able to order bulk parts, especially when they are special parts the you normally have to buy several (...) (26 years ago, 3-Aug-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

Of course, flops can even depend to some extent on whether the set will make it as a parts pack, after people have said they don't want to buy it! ;-) For those in the USA and other high-usage LEGO areas, there are also the sets that are not very (...)
