(...) Actually, the point is that there are no parts made specifically for models built in LEGOLAND (any location). All parts have been avaliable to the consumer at one point in time. There aren't any color/part combos that were never sold, and no (...) (23 years ago, 11-May-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.legoland)

(...) But that's a bloody blatant lie -- or at best a half-truth. (I don't mean that you're lying, I mean LEGOLAND is.) I mean, LEGOLAND can get: * colors that aren't available to the public * older pieces (in some cases) that are no longer (...) (23 years ago, 11-May-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.legoland)

(...) ...and this would be exactly why I would think that Lego _should_ sell all the varied parts they use to build their mega-models and their Legoland parks. It's sort of the attraction of auto racing. We look at these guys going a zillion miles (...) (23 years ago, 3-May-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.legoland)

But that whole attitude seems to be contrary to the signs which are all over the place saying "these models are built with the same bricks available to you [the customer].", which to me implies that the only difference is that TLC can afford (...)

(...) Miniland is only a small part of the LEGOLAND experience. I doubt we'll have roller coasters and Castle Burgers in our backyards anytime soon. Castle Burgers... Yummm (I swear they taste just like a Whopper). The biggest "problem" they will (...) (23 years ago, 30-Apr-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.legoland)

(...) To follow up on the point of uniqueness... I think a further advantage of the uniqueness (beyond wow factor for visitors, etc.) is that it becomes virtually impossible to duplicate the experience.

Out of idle curiosity - has LEGO announced whether they are having another Kidvention this year? Or any other similar special weeks this summer?
