  Re: Bulk Pricing (Interesting comparison?)
 
(...) Well as far as the overhead I think the two might be closer than you think. There is a lot of air in the Tubs so the tubs take up more space/part plus the lack of packaging on the bulk packs lower their overhead right away. My guess is that (...)

  Lugnet Promo Sets
 
I'm curious as to how the promotional sets work. Is it at all possible that Lugnet could work with TLC to make promotional sets available? I'd love to see an assortment like the Shell sets (and I'm sure Lugnet would be happy for TLC to sell them (...) (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
 
  Re: Bulk Pricing (Interesting comparison?)
 
(...) I don't think it's "obvious" they can do better. I think the buckets and tubs (pretty much only available in the US and Canada I think) are almost a loss leader. I don't think they actually are a loss leader, but I strongly suspect they are (...) (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

  Re: LEGOs dirty trick: making money by not producing all masks as announced.
 
(...) When you say "old Lego," roughly what year or year range are you referring to? I haven't really noticed any quality differences recently, but huge quality differences since the 70's (better since then). Is the quality lesser now than, say, 5 (...)
