(...) snip (...) snip (...) I watched the show. Since EHME did the LEGO Room for Brandon in May 22nd, 2005, I've have wondered if thay'll do a LEGO Room again.

Hi all, there was an episode of Extreme Makeover on ABC this week that fetaured a family in Raleigh, NC. I was pretty happy to see that since I live there - they were unfortunately filming while I was out of country. But what was a really neat (...) (18 years ago, 22-Jan-07, to lugnet.mediawatch, FTX)

For some reason, I think that everyone at TLG (lawyers included) is preoccupied with the corporate downsizing this year. I had repeated requests for LEGO lawyer involvement with the LEGO CD, but never got a single reply. The folks in the LEGO (...) (18 years ago, 18-Jan-07, to lugnet.mediawatch)

(...) Well, I guess we probably won't know if Lego approved or disapproved... All we know is that if they DID disapprove, they didn't have the will or the ability to back it up! It would be odd if they approved, though-- especially since their use (...) (18 years ago, 18-Jan-07, to lugnet.mediawatch)

(...) Keep in mind that wages in the U.S. are considerably less than in much of Western Europe. In Switzerland, the minimum wage is $22/hour. A lot of that is a consequence of the effects of VAT on national economies over there. Production in the (...) (18 years ago, 16-Jan-07, to lugnet.general, lugnet.mediawatch, FTX)

(...) It is expensive to own property that is much too large, and to suddenly become a landlord leasing the unwanted areas, is almost never a wanted activity when you need to save money. It is probably "sell it all" and "re-lease only a part" that (...) (18 years ago, 13-Jan-07, to lugnet.general, lugnet.mediawatch)

(...) When you own the property, you benefit from the increase in real estate values over time.
