My favorite name for it (I think Jeff Thompson coined it?) is "Alien Vomit." :-) --Todd (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) I am guessing that Trans-Chartreuse is the color used on blacktron II? (...) sounds good but you forgot my all time favorite color, trans orange. (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Are you paying attention, LEGO?
 
(...) I'm not sure that bulk or by-the-brick type purchasing will ever be that large a segment of the market.

  Re: Are you paying attention, LEGO?
 
(...) Only if they lower their prices to the point where people feel they are getting a good deal. There are very few bulk packs I feel are a truly good deal (train windows/doors ARE a good deal).
