(...) Yes tax is added for Illinois residents only. I believe it's 8.25% but I will have to check in the morning. I will get you an answer hopefully before 2pm. OnDrew (21 years ago, 17-Mar-04, to lugnet.market.shopping)

April is the official rollout, and that's generally the best you'll hear until your eyes tell you otherwise (I bought the TECHNIC R2-D2 two weeks before the official release month, and when I called Consumer Affairs to get an incorrectly (...)

  Re: How have the new colors affected your recent buying decisions?
 
(...) I've been bugging stores in my area to find out when these will be in stock. So far I'm being told April at the earliest. I am giddy about these little things. They just look like so much fun. Am I crazy to think that kids will appreciate not (...) (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  Re: How have the new colors affected your recent buying decisions?
 
(...) This is something I've been debating about. The only 2004 sets I've bought so far are the x-pods. They are just way too cool to pass up, new color or no. I have not integrated them into the rest of my collection though. I've kind of started a (...) (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  Re: How have the new colors affected your recent buying decisions?
 
(...) Thanks Allan, for bringing this topic to lugnet! It has been one of the most interesting threads concerning the gray-topic since long time. I myself have bought the 2004 mini ISD set for reference purpose, but I will not buy more 2004 sets, (...) (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  Re: Press release: job cuts etc.
 
(...) Well they do carry many things that regular retail stores don't carry. Like Track, Legends, and MOC series. Also they seem to get new products before the regular retail stores.

  Re: How have the new colors affected your recent buying decisions?
 
(...) So far, I've drastically reduced my purchases in new Lego this year, and what I spent went into older sets (, but totalling less than €100 so far. On the other hand, this money went into the secondary market, where the old colours are still (...) (21 years ago, 15-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  Absolutely!
 
and in much the same way. I've spent the vast majority of my Lego money at my local consignment shop. Old grey at a discount. WOO! Dave (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  Re: How have the new colors affected your recent buying decisions?
 
(...) All I can say is that I don't plan on buying any new sets that year, Technic or Town, and a large reason is because of the horrendous new colors. The ONLY thing that would make me reconsider buying a set is if they would come out with some (...) (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  Re: How have the new colors affected your recent buying decisions?
 
(...) I really don't care about the colors. I am not into the building for the colors. I am in the builing for my drug. Yes I said it. Lego is my drug of choice. T-Shirts to follow. LOL Color is not a big deal. I would like to see old baseplates be (...) (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  Re: How have the new colors affected your recent buying decisions?
 
(...) I don't expect my buying habits to change at all. Thanks to the aging process of LEGO which eventually turns all bricks yellow, I have many different shades of grey in my collection. Plus, LEGO hasn't been consistent with colors anyway. (...) (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

  Re: How have the new colors affected your recent buying decisions?
 
(...) For me, the recent color change has contributed to me remaining in my 4th Dark Ages indefinately. That and all the yucky themes and sets that do not appeal to me as a 35-40 age group AFOL. If I had to pick one hobby nowadays, building plastic (...) (21 years ago, 15-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  Re: How have the new colors affected your recent buying decisions?
 
(...) My LEGO purchases are way down from last year as a direct consequence of the color change. So far in 2004, I have purchased a total of 3 4400 tubs. Compare that to last year, when I spent "mid three figures" every month on LEGO. There are a (...) (21 years ago, 15-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

Of course, I do much of my buying at two distinct times (the Brickfest DC outlet trip, and pre/post christmas sales) so I wouldn't have bought that much 2004 product in the last few (...)

(...) As I noted on the one thread on lego.com, I have bought about $10,000/year for the last 6 years... So far this year, I have bought *zero* 2004 sets. I have bought some clearance Lego here and there to stockpile ODG (Old Dark Grey), but nothing (...) (21 years ago, 15-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)
