(...) person...why are we allowed to vote twice a day? Maybe this would have worked best as a straight poll, with IPs logged? Matt (22 years ago, 12-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) today?" not have as an option "To vote"? Although there was an "Other" option. . . Note: all those cookies recipio.com wants to set aren't needed to vote. Voting would be a more pleasant experiece if recipio.com didn't try. Obligatory effusive (...) (22 years ago, 12-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

Are you able to vote again!? My internet is not working properly & it stoped loading the pages halfway though:-( Not the server won't let me try again:-( Josh (who is going to change his ISP after dealing with 2 months of CRAP (excuse my language), (...)

  Re: You get to choose!
 
(...) Cool. At Brickfest last year, I practically begged Brad Justus to re-release the Battrax as the next Legends set. It certainly is nice to know he listened. Excellent! *crosses fingers* Adrian -- www.brickfrenzy.com (22 years ago, 12-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
 
  Re: You get to choose!
 
(...) I too voted for 6390 for the simple fact that it was going for in excess of $100 on E-bay, and it would be sold for around $60. "...it would include new ”rails” for the crane to slide sideways in, new road plates with a broader road and fewer (...) (22 years ago, 12-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
 
  Re: You get to choose!
 
The voting page mentions some changes required for the yellow castle, but I didn't see anything about the little red windows. Could this set possibly come with the real 1x1x1 windows? I need to know before I register to vote. :) Don (22 years ago, 12-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Jake, all I can say is, Wow! Why do you torture me so? As a fan of Town, I lean towards <Set:6390> But, as a lover of "my Era" of classic sets, I look towards <Set:6285> Grrr, Decisions Decisions! :) Also, one quick question. If LEGO can (...)

  Re: You get to choose!
 
(...) Alright! Let's see some space! (or on the contrary, something cool at that:) I'm just hoping the next Legend will diversify the Legend's series. Then Lego Direst's product line will be a *bit* more stellar. Just my two brickz... <<_Matt (...) (22 years ago, 11-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
 
  Re: You get to choose!
 
(...) I have one word, 'space.' And for you non-spaceheads, remember, that set comes with black shutters. Jake...you da man!! -Tim (22 years ago, 11-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Yepee! (...) I'd put a buck if I could... helàs, I can only vote once. Off to vote now, 6390 come to daddy! Pedro (very, very happy - thank you LEGO!!!!) (22 years ago, 11-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
 
  You get to choose!
 
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) !! 
 
  Re: LD's Auctions (Re: Going once, going twice, sold!)
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: LD's Auctions (Re: Going once, going twice, sold!)
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: LD's Auctions (Re: Going once, going twice, sold!)
 
[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)
 
  Re: LD's Auctions (Re: Going once, going twice, sold!)
 
(...) I agree. I would be really happy if someone would explain what the eBay offering is really about. (...) Isn't the actual number of 10 of these sets an even lower production run. ;) In all seriousness, I may not have described my theory (...) (22 years ago, 9-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
 
  Re: LD's Auctions (Re: Going once, going twice, sold!)
 
(...) 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)  
 
  Re: LD's Auctions (Re: Going once, going twice, sold!)
 
(...) 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 (...)

  Re: LD's Auctions (Re: Going once, going twice, sold!)
 
(...) mint, (...) Since a true collector won't open the box, it follows that it doesn't matter what is in the box (because they will never know, as opening the box reduces its value). So to realise its value, the collector must believe without (...) (22 years ago, 9-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
