   Warning, uninformed speculation ahead. That annoys some people (and their annoyance, in turn, bemuses others). (...) I think this is the very MOST that we can hope for and it is in fact a stretch. Although no one can say for sure, the probability (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)
   
        Re: LEGO Company Welcomes Adult LEGO Enthusiasts —Bryan Wong
   (...) Yep, I'm pretty sure most of us would agree that making *all* parts available would be ridiculously expensive (from TLC's point of view at least). (...) I have a feeling that those people talking with TLC about good parts are representative of (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

     (...) Of course interestingly, the colors of doors available have never before been available, so the value of the existing doors probably has only dropped a little. Now windows on the other hand, well, grey windows used to be close to the most rare (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

     (...) snip a lot of stuff that I wasn't going to comment on (...) Weird, I want everyone in the world to copy my trolleys, my caboose, and my train engines (actually only two, maybe three, of them). I don't think anyone will but hey why not dream. (...)

         Re: LEGO Company Welcomes Adult LEGO Enthusiasts —Eric Kingsley
      (...) You might be supprised. I was just checking out your trolley yesterday and I am seriously considering copying it either in total or at least using some of your ideas. I like it a lot and it may one day show up on a NELUG train layout. Eric (...) (24 years ago, 8-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

      (...) Is it... an electric trolley? We all know how popular those are. eric (24 years ago, 8-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)
     
          Re: LEGO Company Welcomes Adult LEGO Enthusiasts —Eric Kingsley
      (...) Ooh... An inside joke ;-). Yup it is electric and it needs no "help". For those wondering here is Chris' trolley. I happen to like it a lot. (URL) Kingsley The New England LEGO Users Group (URL) (24 years ago, 8-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)
    
         Re: LEGO Company Welcomes Adult LEGO Enthusiasts —Gary Istok
      (...) I agree with Chris, I too want people to copy my work (if they really like it). I have a lot of rare parts that would certainly drop in value if they were made available again, but then I could build a building with black or gray 1x2x2 (...)

         Re: LEGO Company Welcomes Adult LEGO Enthusiasts —Tom Stangl
     (...) I've seen this argument before, but I want hard data to back it up. We've all heard the bit about worn molds being cast into new build foundations to make sure noone can use them - not COMPLETELY true, as Lego displays a few molds here and (...)

        Re: LEGO Company Welcomes Adult LEGO Enthusiasts —Kyle D. Jackson
   (...) "Rare" can be somewhat simulated by "expensive". If they produce the "rarer" parts in smaller quantities, then those parts should cost more to produce. They should charge a correspondingly higher price. If they sell a 2x4 brick for 1 cent (...) (24 years ago, 10-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)
