  Re: Old Parts in Legend Sets?
 
(...) I have another point: The Guarded Inn includes a large door (blue) and shutters (yellow, for the 1x2x2 window) that have not been used in new sets for some time now. It seems to imply that older parts can indeed return--although as to your (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jun-01, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.general)
 
  Lugnet has a problem
 
Lugnet has a problem. No one can have their own opinion if it differs from everyone elses. If they do, they are attacked. Read the posts that were in reply to my own, stating my discontent with the re-release of the Castle set the Guarded Inn. (...)

  Legends suggestion
 
First, thank you at everybody in Lego/Lego Direct that gets things moving. Already a lot of people have done many suggestions. For sure everybody wants a Legend set in the theme they favor. Here is my suggestions: Classic Space: 497/928 Galaxy (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jun-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
 
  Re: Old Parts in Legend Sets?
 
(...) Good luck getting this one rereleased... If lego rereleases 4.5v or 12v train, it will likely be with a 9v motor and/or track. (23 years ago, 9-Jun-01, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Questions about backordering a set...
 
(...) I placed a $135 order and received $85 worth of it last week. They charged me the whole $10 shipping charge up front. When I received the rest of my order this week there was no additional shipping charge. Maggie C. (23 years ago, 9-Jun-01, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  Re: Questions about backordering a set...
 
(...) I haven't actually gone back and looked at my orders, but I'be lately had the impression that when part of your order is backordered, you end up only ever getting charged for the shipping on the amount shipped initially. Hmm, couldn't find any (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jun-01, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.shopping)

  Re: And the July Surprise is...
 
(...) I was just thinking of that... can you imagine a 7750 with the large red wheels and a bright red 9V motor in the tender? That would be sweet! Althought that would technically be a different set, so they would give it a new name/number etc. The (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jun-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

  Old Parts in Legend Sets?
 
I will be curious when the Guarded Inn arrives in July. Will it have the old style minifig heads with no open top? Or the newer style with the hole on top with what looks like the Mercedes emblem over the hole. I tend to think that the Legend sets (...)

  Questions about backordering a set...
 
Hey Y'all: Okay, so I backordered my lot of Guarded Inn sets...so far so good. 1. When will I actually be charged for this order -- today or when it ships? 2. If the totality of my order is sent in different parcels, will I be charged for shipping (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jun-01, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.shopping)

  Re: I don't want to complain, but....
 
Lawrence, I agree with you 100%. Bulk Sales have kind of been pretty stagnant. I would love to see clear bricks in many sizes, macaroni bricks, 2x2 round bricks, and more town windows available. Ditto for sloped bricks, especially steep slopes. Gary (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jun-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

I too am happy about the Legends series. It is great that LD is making so many people happy. But I still want expanded Bulk Orders.
