Welcome back!
You'll find not much has changed in your absence. There is:
Cheap Lego in Australia (yay!)
Reference to a possible future STUDS meeting
Complaint about Lego's product (new shade of grey, and rounded studs)
IP theft (of stolen IP)
Discussion about clones that are Megablocks vs clones that train fans want
Defense of someone on the basis that he is a 'nice guy'
Claims that Castle is being poorly treated
Criticism of Bionicle
Demands for 'nnn' set, containing 'ppp' pieces from Lego
A question about Bricks Magazine (and the usual short, uninformative answer)
I'm sure all these things could be combined into one mega-thread without too
much effort...
;-)
Cheers
Richie
