Dear LEGO, Just wanted to say, "Cool!" and thanks. :-) I like the changes to the LEGO Company website! It *is* new, right? because, I'd swear it changed only a few days ago.. yet I saw no mention in lugnet.lego.announce or lugnet.lego.direct. I (...)

| | RE: Molds - I just don't grok the economics
|

Another clue to the economics lies in the sets' price per piece ratio. Some of the Designer sets go for as little as 5 cents/piece while Jabba's Palace is nearly 13 cents/piece. Star Wars licensing, raw material costs (for larger pieces), etc. are (...) (21 years ago, 21-Apr-03, to lugnet.lego.direct)

Well, as for the cypress tree issue... Lego Direct is responsible for all the new re-releases, and it doesn't seem to have the power to make new molds, I guess to cut costs for more AFOL-targeted models. While the big fad models made outside Lego (...) (21 years ago, 18-Apr-03, to lugnet.lego.direct)

I thought they were still available at S@H until a few months ago, but recently I saw they aren't in the assortment anymore. And I think there isn't a set incl. such a small pump, am I right? Dennis Bosman (21 years ago, 15-Apr-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.lego.direct)
