 | | VERY short review of #7672 Rogue Shadow
|
| Good parts buy for $40 MISB at a consignment shop. Not much else to recommend. Why doesn't Vader's apprentice have a name? Dave S. (16 years ago, 29-Jul-08, to lugnet.reviews)
| | | | | Review of 7624 Jungle Duel
|
| I would've added the lugnet.indianajones or the lugnet.licensed.indianajones groups, but they don't seem to exist. I would like to present a review of the 7624 Jungle Duel set [LEGOSet 7624] I just opened my (URL) 7624 Jungle Duel> set today. When I (...) (16 years ago, 3-Jul-08, to lugnet.reviews, FTX)

| (...) Hungary has Flextronics Duplo operations. Not sure what they make for System sets. In the CR - printed parts, manual assembling and packaging Austria - I'm not 100% sure, but I think they make the plastic cans (and again, I think this is made (...)

| (...) Is it? I knew it couldn't possibly be ABS (due to the fact that natural ABS has a translucent milky-beige color, and clear ABS is supposed to be EXPENSIVE), but I'd always thought it was acrylic due to how easily the transparent parts used to (...)

| (...) Remember that they were originally planning to move production to China. Reportedly there were two main considerations with abandoning that idea. The first was that there was an intense backlash concerning quality issues (which would only have (...) (17 years ago, 5-Jan-08, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

| (...) The USA is the largest market only in the sense that we barely buy more total product than Germany since the debut of the LEGO Star Wars line. Germany still has the highest per-capita sales by a massive margin, and the EU (which was comparably (...) (17 years ago, 5-Jan-08, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

| (...) I live in El Paso and that is the wage in Juarez, or less. I would doubt that it is too international. Nothing is made in the US, Germany, England, New Zealand, or Australia. Though some things are made in China. I would say that the (...) (17 years ago, 5-Jan-08, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

I would guess that costs are a major consideration, and that the NAFTA has had a bearing on this - keep in mind that the USA is LEGO's biggest market. (...) Well, (...)

| (...) Perhaps it is due to Flextronics not having the quality control that Lego did. Why they moved production to Juarez Mexico is beyond me. Perhaps very cheap labor, less than $2.00 an hour might be the reason. Shades of overseas clothing sweat (...) (17 years ago, 5-Jan-08, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)
