(...) True, but similar comments could be made of any theme. Trains are trains are trains, Castles are castles are castles. Yet for a fan of a theme, a greater number of models of varying price-points is always welcome. The truth is, how a tall ship (...)

(...) When I first heard a rumor about this, I was thinking "No, they're got it wrong, Mega Bloc (*hack*) has the license." I'm guessing their license expired or Disney cancelled it? (14 years ago, 22-Nov-10, to lugnet.mediawatch, FTX)

(...) Never work, because we know kids NEVER run trains around curves too fast. Or crash them into things. IIRC, TRAINS magazine had a writeup of this movie (focusing on the "how it was made" details but with some other coverage) and the writer (...)

(...) Abner you provide a valuable service, please don't stop! I don't think Hendo was complaining about your work in reproducing this stuff, but rather commenting on the original content.

(...) Hey Hendo! Long time no see. I think your points are valid for the main market (kids)... but for us, all sets are parts, and fodder for our own creations. So if this means more parts of certain kinds I'm pleased at the prospect. The problem of (...) (14 years ago, 21-Nov-10, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.pirates, FTX)
