| Working for LEGO Direct is always fun, but every once in a while a project comes along that just makes me giddy when I get to come here and announce it. Today, such an announcement is made. We would like to invite you all to choose our next LEGO (...) (22 years ago, 11-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.lego.announce) !!

| (...) That's not correct. The document just says that you have a limited edition, not what number. And the stickers are not personalized. There is a *printed* tile that is personalized, however, with a unique number from 1 to 9999 for each set. (...) (22 years ago, 10-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

| (...) This is very true. However, the REAL concept of the Limited Edition has to be taken into consideration. The example you gave is not a "real" limited edition. Sure, there were only a few dozen of the same design made. That is true. But the real (...) (22 years ago, 10-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

| [snip] (...) I would disagree here. With the good part assortment in hard to get colors, that background would no doubt sell very well. Not to display the engine but to cannibalize for parts. (I know Allan, you do not buy just for the sake of parts. (...) (22 years ago, 10-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

| (...) Well, actually no. The first instance of lego as a collectible would simply have been people keeping sets in a collectible condition (which has been going on for quite a while). Another previous instance of TLC marketing things in this manner (...) (22 years ago, 9-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

| (...) How did you determine these sales were due to the "limited" nature of the set, and not due to the excellent quality of the set? Once you have established that, suppose Lego were to release a "limited" set every month -- do you think the appeal (...) (22 years ago, 9-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
| | | | | Nice Work, Jake!
|
| Jake, you have achieved the status in my mind of "master minifig scale train builder"! I really like the way you put a train together:-) This loco: (URL) is certainly in league with the Super Chief or even *beyond* it! Hey Brad! You've got your next (...)
