(...) It's the same story in much of Canada. I suppose it could be called "brand dilution" but it's somewhat inevitable if you're the most recognized brand. And it could be a good thing, I think. LEGO claims to be gunning for that title now... (...) (24 years ago, 29-Mar-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.tx)

(...) Having pretty much grown up in Texas, I can relate to David's comments. I don't think I've ever asked for a facial tissue, it's always been a Kleenex regardless of the actual brand. It very well may be a regioinal faux pas. Build on! Karl (...) (24 years ago, 27-Mar-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.tx)

(...) Yeah, this is important for them to protect their trademark. If "Legos" becomes synonymous with plastic building blocks according to a judge somewhere, then people would be able to buy Megablok legos, etc. I have a bad habit of offending them (...)

(...) Hi Pat- I live in Austin as well, but I only browse this newsgroup about twice a month due to low message count. I'm 26 and my girlfriend and I are into Town, Train, and Egyptian themes. -brandon (24 years ago, 2-Feb-01, to lugnet.loc.us.tx.aus)

(...) Hi Pat, Looks like you are getting more Austin responses now! I know there are a few others in Austin. I'm not sure you can get them to respond. Maybe they don't read this newsgroup too often.

(...) Greetings and thanks for the reply! AFAIK, a state-wide group (out of Dallas) is in the works. I'd enjoy some kind of regional gathering as well, though. Wasn't there a pretty strong Austin group for a while there? james (24 years ago, 30-Jan-01, to lugnet.loc.us.tx.aus)
