(...) I am guilty of the above. I finished it. But your right, the series did go progressively downhill. I do believe I saw a new book in the series. A couple of months ago, I saw a new one at a mall bookstore. I glanced at it briefly, and thought I (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) I dunno. Call me crazy, but I think the prices on things like the Metroliner would go ***UP*** (not down) if LEGO made more "good sets." The more "good sets" there are in a theme, the more people want to collect that theme. The more people (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Did you like the series at the end? I haven't met anyone who's finished Plains of Passage (is that the right name?) since it was the final (hopefully) step of the descent into trashy romance novels. I _really_ like Clan of the Cave Bear, and (...) (26 years ago, 25-Mar-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) I'll go even further than saying the probelm is caused by the lack of bulk bricks. The bottom would fall out of the market for Metroliner's, Club Cars (I have seen these go for >$300!!!!), and Airport Shuttles and the like if LEGO would make (...)

I agree with John concerning the current state that most Lego enthusiasts share, is the lack of bulk bricks from TLG, and the necessity of buying certain sets. I don't buy sets for the future value of them, I buy them to either have the set, or to (...) (26 years ago, 24-Mar-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

For me the most notable reason why our little market isn't perfect is that IMO we are in a constant state of short supply on most elements (because of TLG's unwillingness to offer bulk), not to mention that most sets are not available through Lego (...)

It'd be nice if it always worked like that - but it doesn't for various reasons, most notably that people don't always have perfect knowledge of the market. The going rate for something might be $300 (...) (26 years ago, 24-Mar-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)
