  LEGO Direct in Europe
 
Hi everybody, I just placed a DM 500 order with LEGO Direct in Germany: (URL) Functionally, this worked perfectly, and I could do it in German language. However, the user friendliness of the site did not really convince me, so I took the opportunity (...) (24 years ago, 13-Nov-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Our familiy also dislikes them because of the storage problems these sets do cause: we have separate drawers for each part. These juniorized sets have so many big specialized parts that it is very unconvenient to store them. The only (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.dear-lego)

I want to use RCX or Scout in TRAIN series ASAP, but RCX or Scout is too big and sometimes too complex, I hope TLC can make mini-RCX or microi-Scout for TRAIN series, these two don't need baterry and the power can get from outside: Idea1: Mini-RCX, (...)

Hi, I think that TLC faces problems in several fronts with respect to their sales and marketing in the future. 1)AFOLs vs Target Audience-By targetting the 12 and under group and designing sets based on what these groups may want Lego in turn is (...)

I think MegaBloks have wonderful designs, limited by their brick quality. I hope they buy out TLG and use the high-quality molds for better purposes! I am completely convinced that the only reason the Star Wars sets are any good is that there is a (...)

Great topic. And many of us train heads have thought of this is several very similar ways. Some even doing it (train guild, MOC sales...) But to even partially realize a spin off there would need to be at least a million upfront. Run the numbers on (...)

IMO, the new catalog indicates a slight shift in the right direction, but not by much. Megabloks is (...)

Doesn't seem to be their current method: it's more like "grasping for market share by making simple, disposable sets with the promise of instant play value thereby completely missing the core competency of the product".

Basically TLC has 2 goals that several of you are paraphrasing. 1. Gaining market share through superior product. One way to gain market share is by introducing potential long term customers to your product. Does that mean get the kids at an earlier (...)
