   Ok, so it's 2002. We're ready, so go ahead any time and let us download the software you mentioned here: (URL) get started working on our creations so that there's no lag time in orders when you announce the service.

     (...) Um, the quote is: "Within a year building instructions for LEGO sets developed since 1955 will be accessible online." I see no "every" in there. :-) Here's the link for you: www.brickshelf.com :-) :-) (but ya, I want my custom set design tool (...) (22 years ago, 19-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
    
         Re: We are ready. —Ben Roller
     (...) I noticed that, but was being hopeful. :) Also I was ignoring the fact that they could just put up one set of instructions and say "hey, this one was developed since 1955." (...) So, is that what Lego meant? Does Brickshelf even have (...) (22 years ago, 19-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

      (...) I dunno. Note the smileys... :-) Maybe it's the routing they will go in future. I do NOT want to speculate further as I don't want to jiggle Kevin's elbow more than I just did. (...)

        Re: We are ready. —Jonathan Mizner
     I was beginning to think I had dreamed that post up....with no follow-ups from Lego concerning to status of the Build-Your-Own-MOC.

        Re: We are ready. —John Barnes
     (...) Perhaps this means that a larger variety of parts are, in fact, available :) I wonder - a model of a monolith made entirely of 2x6 yellow bricks. You want bulk bricks - just draw a big picture of them. I could live with that ;) JB (22 years ago, 21-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

      (...) Yeah... Couldn't you theoreticly use that with the lego mosaic? Just take a picture of a grey wall or something like that and send it in... Coarse, you would get plates.

        Re: We are ready. —Lou Zucaro
   Ultimately, many things will determine if the software is successful, depending on your point of view. Personally, my take on that was that you would have a wide range of parts to select from, and when you were done, your parts list would be (...) (22 years ago, 22-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
