 | | LUGOLA Meeting 6/7/03 was a huge success!
|
|
Hi all, I wanted to thank everyone for coming to the LUGOLA meeting this weekend. It was a huge success, protected by General Charlie and Cody. I didn't keep an official count, but we had at least 20 people there, and lots of MOCs. I want to thank (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jun-03, to lugnet.org.us.lugola)

(...) Sorry, I was looking at the Canadian prices, not the US prices. For the US, they will cost $39.99 (#4402 Sea Riders), $49.99 (#4403 Air Blazers), and $59.99 (#4404 Land Busters). It seems a bit screwy, but Canadian prices are all $20 higher (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jun-03, to lugnet.town, lugnet.org.us.lugola)

(...) Yup. (...) That seems to have been a rather widespread confusion, but the last set to be released under the Model Team name was in 1999. Since then, the SW UCS sets and the WW2 fighter planes (apparently with the Wright Bros. flyer coming (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jun-03, to lugnet.town, lugnet.org.us.lugola)

(...) WOW, really??? The Advanced Designer sets are those three (blue: boats, ski doos, red: planes, helicopters, yellow: trucks, dragsters, motorcycle?)! I thought those will be under the name of 'Model Team'. It doesn't matter anymore, thank you (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jun-03, to lugnet.town, lugnet.org.us.lugola)

(...) No, those are retailer catalogs. I've seen those, and they're about the size of a magazine. The Product Books are about 7.5" square, and they're made available to everyone who attends the LEGO Toy Fair showroom. (...) I won't name names, but I (...)

(...) It's something they hand out at Toy Fair that contains small images of nearly every set that will be released at retail. (...) The design of the 2003 PB is not conducive to scanning. It's bound with a 1/4" thick glued spine. Last year's was (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jun-03, to lugnet.town, lugnet.org.us.lugola)

(...) If I remember correctly, the Product Book is the retail book given to authorized retailers of LEGO. I think it is a violation of LEGO's confidentiality code to post the scans as there are dealer prices on them. (...) This is what LEGO has done (...)

(...) Um....what is this Product Book you are talking about? Could you make any scans of it? Yeah that's most of the 2003 sets but what is "Advanced Designer"? Are those the Designer sets? Anyway, LEGO might pull of some surprises (e.g. Train Shed, (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jun-03, to lugnet.town, lugnet.org.us.lugola)

(...) All six of the World City (ie Police) and all four of the Train sets for 2003 are due out in July, according to the 2003 Product Book. Admittedly there are a few sets that weren't even listed in the Product Book, but the only set that lists as (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jun-03, to lugnet.town, lugnet.org.us.lugola)

They were posted on Shop@Home as sort of sneak previews but even a long time ago on MarzDistribution, it said that (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jun-03, to lugnet.town, lugnet.org.us.lugola)

I was just home in Michigan & the Target, Walmart & Shopko didn't have anything yet, not even the designer sets! (...) (21 years ago, 6-Jun-03, to lugnet.town, lugnet.org.us.lugola)

Great Info! Thanks for posting this. BTW - Did you get the LUGOLA email list for an announcement to that (for people who don't track the LUGOLA news group)?

I just got back from LegoLand CA and found a lot of nice pieces. The prices is $6.99 per 1/4 pound, which is quite expensive, if you can find the bricks in a parts pack or on BrickLink, but a few bricks seem worth the price (see below). You might (...)
