|

(...) I kinda doubt it. There isn't much recourse Lego has when it comes to *forcing* you to change your domain name, but it can waste your time (and its time) with legal proceedings, I'm sure. Sorta like the old BrickBay vs. Ebay. Ebay could easily (...) (21 years ago, 5-Apr-05, to lugnet.lego, FTX)

How someone can call "tan" "brick yellow" with a straight face, I just don't know. -- (...) (21 years ago, 18-Mar-05, to lugnet.color, lugnet.lego)

(...) I'm keeping out of the color discussions, but I can answer this one. The 'Beige' on the list IS what we know as Tan. At LEGO, this color is known both as 'Brick Yellow' and also 'Beige' - color number 05 on the LEGO color chip pallette. Quite (...) (21 years ago, 17-Mar-05, to lugnet.color, lugnet.lego)
