Jake, I think it is disappointing and a bit sad that Lego would reply to letters from children in such a manner. In your post you mentioned this - (...) ask (...) You are correct - children are extremely intelligent. (I'm often stunned at what my (...) (22 years ago, 20-Sep-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

In lugnet.lego.direct, Jake McKee writes: <snip> I can agree with all of what you said and still feel that giving blow off answers was wrong. Write in a style that's accessible to children and a style that's funny, and appropriate to their age (...) (22 years ago, 20-Sep-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

Personally, I think that these jokes are a bit rude. Disclosure of information has never been a problem with the lego company, so why the sudden confidentiality? I can only form an opinion based on the two I saw in the post. In Australia, we only (...) (22 years ago, 20-Sep-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) I wouldn't go as far as describing it appalling. I would find some of the responses in bad taste. I find them really dumb, and not really fun (or funny for that matter). I have seen some corny, dumb jokes, especially in kid's publications, and (...) (22 years ago, 20-Sep-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Now hang on... I think "appalling" is a little too strong. (...) I'm not sure that I agree that the copy in question is "patronising". We do a lot of testing with the magazines (nearly every issue if I'm not mistaken) and fun stuff like the (...) (22 years ago, 19-Sep-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) This is appalling. When did this patronising of children start? When I was young I don't remember suffering this sort of thing. I remember reading my dad's Eagle annuals from when he was a child (60's) and they had fantastically detailed (...) (22 years ago, 19-Sep-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

My brother's just put a deposit down on one in a Toyworld store here in Brisbane. The best the guy in the store could say as to when it would arrive was 'sometime next month', probably late in the month, and that was all Lego Australia could tell (...)

Hey all, Does anyone know when the new 8461 (williams f1 car, for those who ignore numbers) will be appearing in australian (specifically, Adelaide) stores (TRU, MYER, DJ, etc...)? Got no help at all from anyone I have contacted, and don't really (...) (22 years ago, 18-Sep-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
