(...) Agreed. As a castle guy, I learned a ton by building Dan Siskind's Blacksmith Shop design (also very educational for town builders). Look through recent castle creations (e.g. search "tudor" on Brickshelf: (URL) ) to see how that set has had (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.lego.direct)

I don't see any reason for a fan-created Star Wars set... we've already got tons of SW sets. The main thing I'd like to see on any new (...)

(...) I couldn't agree more! Bring back something from Classic Space, Futuron, or even Blacktron (not Blacktron II), and it would be a huge hit. Retro-future space is very cool and would sell well as LEGO sets! As for fan created sets, I'd like to (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.lego.direct)

Hi Jake, Just an FYI for you to pass onto your Lego Stores folks. As is often the case the 2 coasts (east coast and west coasts) seem to get a lot of the attention, and when there is some attention given "middle America" it usually goes to Chicago. (...)

Jake, I know you are busy, but could you please refer this question to someone who might know. Lego came to the USA via licensee Samsonite (and Schwayder Bros.) of Denver Colorado in 1961. Here is a copy of that first catalog that came with all sets (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jun-04, to lugnet.lego.direct)

I received my two sets yesterday and my track was in the same condition. I also noticed the white strip on the doors was almost gray. Other than that, everything was fine. I was also suprised at the small size of the box. I've never seen a box from (...) (20 years ago, 3-Jun-04, to lugnet.lego.direct)

I decided to wait till morning to see the set again. After all I think my judgement had been coloured by the condition of the boxes and the fact that I have spend way more than I need to on Lego for 2004!!! I was going to say coffee stain on the (...) (20 years ago, 3-Jun-04, to lugnet.lego.direct)
