 | | Statue of Liberty #3450 Status
|
| I've just heard from a colleague that in Europe, we are about to sell through the Statue of Liberty (#3450) set. It's had an amazing run, and was the second LEGO Direct exclusive set. There's a lot of history wrapped up in that set. There are no (...) (22 years ago, 1-Dec-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.lego.announce)

| (...) Haha that reminds me - the only 2004+ set I have is 4492 MINI Star Destroyer. It's sitting here in the original plastic container, minus all the non-bley pieces. I'd be happy to send this back to TLC with a letter to help prove our point! (...) (22 years ago, 1-Dec-04, to lugnet.color, lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

| (...) This is a GREAT suggestion. I would part with a few new gray plates and a couple of 1x2 "old gray" plates, to make the point. I would add, why not put in some pics of various MOCS that have been displayed at shows, and on the WEB, that make (...) (22 years ago, 1-Dec-04, to lugnet.color, lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

| (...) Great points. Facts=Good. Pictures=best way to represent color facts. Actual parts are even better than pictures. We'll have to think of some way to incorporate your idea above. (Kind of like "Exhibit #1" at a court trial - I like it) I think (...) (22 years ago, 1-Dec-04, to lugnet.color, lugnet.lego, lugnet.general)

|
| (...) Well, they've been around for MORE than 20 years (1977 for dark grey and 1974/77 for brown, if you count the maxifig hair which probably wasn't ABS). So, yeah, maybe saying "more than 20 years" or "more than 25 years" (nice round number). (...) (22 years ago, 1-Dec-04, to lugnet.color, lugnet.lego, lugnet.general)

| OK Folks, I know I made a fuss about still whining about the color change after a year, but you folks are now NOT whining, your actually doing something. Yes, I would support and sign that letter. Although I rarely build with gray parts, I do use a (...) (22 years ago, 1-Dec-04, to lugnet.color, lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

| (...) That's ok, they probably wonder the same thing about you too. (...) That's just it - they don't need a chief. They just wanna build stuff with LEGO. ROSCO (22 years ago, 1-Dec-04, to lugnet.lego)

| (...) I don't know specifically, but I would assume (note the word "assume") that since the entire Spider-man line is licensed, that the licensing body would have a say in the design, or the fact that so many licensed figures (Mary Jane, Peter (...)

|
| (...) Actually, I 100% agree with you there (and did before I posted) - and the LEGO magazines I've seen for 10+ yrs proves your point. I agree that brick size and shape are MUCH more important (and hinted at that in the letter, so it didn't appear (...) (22 years ago, 1-Dec-04, to lugnet.color, lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Color change: **CEO Draft Letter**
|
| (...) There is a factual error here. Dark grey and brown have not been around for 20 years. You probably want to annex the letter with a detailed description of which colours have changed, with a photo, or even real parts, as an example if you want. (...)
