| (...) What will be the availability, if any, of getting some of these elements with specific printed images on them (e.g. various minifig parts, slopes, bricks, and tiles)? It seems to me (but I'm no expert) that there should only be a small (...) (24 years ago, 17-Apr-00, to lugnet.lego.direct) !

| (...) Yeah, probably. I don't see why they'd have a problem with that -- it redistributes the small-orders workload to the purchasers. (24 years ago, 17-Apr-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

| (...) This gives me an idea: An official lego modelling program. If they do have cad images of the elements they can somehow process those to reduce the precision on the decimal places (to make them easier to work with and to also make them usless (...)

| (...) One thing that will probobly happen is that you will get several people, who all want 20 casle helments of one type, and get the whole lot putting in an order for 100 or so then distributing them. (24 years ago, 17-Apr-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

| (...) I don't think it's ranting, although it is bitter. It results from years of being treated like a second-rate market. Some may argue that we ARE a second rate market, but TLC certainly isn't giving us a chance to prove otherwise. Of course (...) (24 years ago, 17-Apr-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

| <snip>(Eric K said) (...) Eric said it almost perfectly. The "common" bricks (1x1,1x2,1x3,1x4,1x6,2x2, 2x3,2x4,2x6) are availabe in the "common" (Red, Blue, Black, White, Green, Yellow) colours in the 1200 piece buckets. I doubt you can beat the (...)

| (...) Ben, You really need to get to the bottom of this problem where your posts start a new thread and don't tag onto the original thread. It makes it really hard to follow! Pete Callaway (24 years ago, 17-Apr-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

| First, consider the usual metooish "yippee" as having been said. Right... onwards... (...) I would like to suggest that the number needed be public at the start of the month. While I don't expect daily updates, about 10 days before the end, perhaps (...) (24 years ago, 17-Apr-00, to lugnet.lego.direct) !

| (...) But, if that is the case, why say 1) this will be available form S@H until the e-commerce section is up, and then say 2) This service will be available in the US, and later in Europe. To me this says that when the e-commerce section is up, (...) (24 years ago, 17-Apr-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

One would imagine that the operation would be global at that point. (...) (24 years ago, 17-Apr-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

| True, it may not get results, but as with many major companies, this sort of thing will at least ensure that they remember that there ARE markets outside America/Europe, and let them know that we are extremely interested in what they are doing.

| (...) So THAT'S where all of the little stuff that I drop goes! Seriously though, I'd expect that once the web ordering comes together that AFOL's world-wide can place orders. I'm just guess though, since I (unfortunately) do not work for TLC. Ben (...) (24 years ago, 16-Apr-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)
