(...) Very true, no sales = no profit. LEGO is going to offer what they want , where they want. The best that most of us can hope is the better stuff gets to where we are. I'd love for everything to be available everywhere, I don't know if that will (...) (23 years ago, 5-May-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Note, very importantly, that the online order numbering system and the telephone order numbering system differ; online is "X00018nnn0000" and online has been "P002nnnn". I did my ordering, and proxy ordering, by telephone; in part this was to (...) (23 years ago, 5-May-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)

And another thing... Why is there so much secrecy surrounding any information coming from LEGO? It's like dealing with the NSA. Examples: #1: The recent "Train Summit". All of the particiapants were required to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Why? (...) (23 years ago, 5-May-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

The recent offering of old service packs on shop.lego.com has got me upset over what I see as a bad policy of LEGO's: no shipping outside shop-at-home territories. There are people over here in the US begging to buy these old and rare service packs, (...) (23 years ago, 5-May-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

I'm sure I'm not the only castle fan who was really brought out of their Dark Ages (in my case, since 1984) due to the introduction of the Star Wars line, just as Castle was slipping into it's "mini-ice age."

(...) I think it's quite plain and simple: back then, nobody needed the service packs. All you had to do is buy a set - at that time you would get a good set with a lot of good parts. Now, however, since the parts are ridiculous, there is a high (...) (23 years ago, 5-May-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)
