  Re: LD's Auctions (Re: Going once, going twice, sold!)
 
(...) No, icky that: (...) I can imagine many potential reasons why LD wouldn't rcv the profits, but my question was meant literally. (...) No. Well, I think that's up to subjective judgement. But, assuming your question was aimed, at least in part, (...) (23 years ago, 3-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

  Re: Going once, going twice, sold!
 
I don't speak for LEGO, but I may be able to get close to the answers to some of your questions: (...) If this works out (which it certainly seems to be doing), as many one-of-a-kind sets as the market will bear, and that it is profitable for them (...)

  Re: LD's Auctions (Re: Going once, going twice, sold!)
 
(...) Too bad, isn't it? When I read about the Lego direct auctions, I was a bit skeptic at first about the whole concept. If you think about, look at Disney Co. They do the same thing with their products. I remember checking out Ebay once, and they (...) (23 years ago, 3-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

I don't normally post my comments in threads like this (I like to stick to gears and wires and sensors and stuff like that), but once in a while, there's the urge to add my 2c worth. LD is in business to make money - all businesses are! The ones who (...) (23 years ago, 3-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) I think the display base is glued up to avoid any need for instructions. That's what Jake's note that you're quoting says, anyway. (the note speaks of it being glued in two sections for ease of shipping, presumably one section is the vertical (...) (23 years ago, 3-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

Seems to me that most numbered, limited editions don't even offer the #1 unit to the public, preferring to give it to the president of (...) (23 years ago, 3-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

  Re: Going once, going twice, sold!
 
I can't truly express how disappointed I was to see this announcement. As a Canadian AFOL who has yet to even receive a Shop@Home catalog (after multiple requests) offering the Super Chief for sale, to see Lego now offering them for sale on E-bay is (...)

(...) Hmmm... Looks intersting. What other stuff are you going to auction? And will it always be one at a time? The prices will probablly get pretty outragous...(I'm twelve, so I can't afford high ebay prices!) A 'buy it now' should be offered too. (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

  an alternate opinion
 
in general response to this thread.... i hate juniorization as much as the next guy but i don't buy those sets. The new SW sets are the BEST sets TLC has ever made, the curved pieces (finally) allow for stylish mocs, and the canopies can be placed (...)

  Re: legends space set, my thoughts as to the reasoning based on what brad has said
 
(...) I'd like to see a 6985 Cosmic Fleet Voyager, or a Message Intercepter Base or even the original 918 become a Space Legend! Why does Lego even continue to bother with those new SW sets? In my opinion, I think SW is getting kind of old. Most of (...) (23 years ago, 27-Mar-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.starwars)

  Wholesale prices on RIS
