(...) This would be a great item for LD's auctions. If they had ten lots, each one pound of swirled elements, I bet they could fetch pretty good money...maybe mine. Chris (22 years ago, 9-Jun-02, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Supply and demand? If people are interested in buying them, and there are few items available, it's only natural to see a high price point. It's like stamp of coin collection, I suppose. Stamps and coins which are produced with some kind of (...) (22 years ago, 9-Jun-02, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.lego.direct)

Why on earth are you asking them to sell them for such INSANE prices? It's not as if regular bricks are cheap through bulk. You do realize those mottled bricks are "trash" as far as Lego is concerned, right? They either throw them out or grind them (...) (22 years ago, 9-Jun-02, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.lego.direct)

Dear Lego and LD, These are the neatest pieces. I have heard of them many times but necer seen them until now, and man, how cool!

Hi all. As some of you know, I recently went to work for a small educational toy shop in North Seattle. I actually found the job thanks to LEGO! The owner was considering starting to carry LEGO, and was at a SeaLUG meeting. Well, it took quite some (...) (22 years ago, 7-Jun-02, to lugnet.lego.direct) !

(...) First of all, divide the company into it's respective divisions. Even though we refer to Lego as one company, it's divisions aren't necessarily managed as one company.
