Lego could conceivably develop a new one based on a (...) (23 years ago, 12-Nov-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Hi, I was at the Lego Event 2001 in Holland, and some people where complaining (as i do too) abouth the sets. Too many large bricks (juniorisation), no houses as in the 80-ties, and getting too expensive for what you get. Santa Claus is (...) (23 years ago, 12-Nov-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)

I saw an Adidas brick (white soccer barrier) in the K8 pile at Brickfest last July. I'm not a Soccer collector so I assumed it was nothing new. The other two soccer barriers I found were advertising Lego themes (Arctic for one.) Personally, I can (...) (23 years ago, 11-Nov-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)
