Q Could you please give me a list of all the retired LEGO sets..?

sit on the beach....

They could at least have said the list is too long to print, or given a list
of past themes.
It would be too much for them to mention other web sites that give the

Q How many kids are in the LEGO club?
A Well lets see... there's you... and me... and those people over there...

These Q and As were also seen in the latest issue of the magazine we get in

given, say so, don't give flip answers. Kids are smarter than some adults
