On behalf of all of us in the Greater Midwest LEGO Train Club, THANK YOU for allowing us to display our train layout at Kidvention 2000!! We were treated very well, and we had a great time. All the people we talked to (MCs and 'Guests') seemed to (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.events, lugnet.legoland.california, lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.trains)

Actually, those mock-ups weren't described to me as Throwbots in any way shape of form. They looked incredible, especially the larger ones. In terms of size, they were taller than Millennia and wider too. Few (if any) Throwbot parts were evident in (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.legoland)

(...) I don't know why you 'couldn't' if in fact that was the case. But I do know that I didn't, cause I barely got the opportunity to take pictures while I was there. I took about 90 of them up by our display, but about half of them I gave the (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.legoland)

(...) Nick, much of the throwbots prototype stuff was not even made of ABS. It was just a plasticene mockup of possible designs or directions to take the line. Or perhaps even an entirely different line. And most were very crude. Practically molded (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.legoland)

(...) The "much" part. I was just asking incase it had a big sign on it or was moving around like crazy. Why couldn't you take pictures of the movie maker? It was on lego.com??? (24 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.legoland)

(...) I really have no idea. I'm not much of a Throwbot fan, so I didn't pay that much attention. I was busier talking to the Technic model designers. -Tim (24 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.legoland)

(...) Did the throwbots have new pieces or roborider heads? (24 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.legoland)

(...) Nope. All prototypes. That was meaning that what you saw there was _not_ guaranteed to make production. They even had a technic car with spraypainted yellow panels, because those pieces weren't made in yellow (even internally!). -Tim (24 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.legoland)

(...) Something to that effect. They had a few really cool Technic motorcycles with ENORMOUS tires. The technic stuff was really cool, especially talking to the designers face to face. I didn't pay much attention to the throwbots, but the Silver (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.legoland)

(...) I don't believe so. Brick By Brick (the display) was set up only for Kidvention, and only those with Kidvention passes were allowed inside. Sorry : \ -Tim (24 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.legoland)
