This may sound like a weird question but, if Life on Mars is indeed a LEGO
Space theme, why is it not any place in LEGO Space? Even a link would be
nice, such as one to Star Wars. If Life on Mars does not fit into LEGO
space, where does it fit into in the LEGO universe? Is it a branch off of
Space Port? I seriously doubt it, though the technology looks remarkably
similar to technology of that time in the LEGO Earth history. My guess is
that the Life on Mars theme predates even Classic Space (in the LEGO Space
time line, not in real life) so I guess that Life on Mars is the first, at
least in LEGO Space terms, space series.
Where does Alpha Team also fit into the LEGO universe? Actually, I do not
believe that Alpha Team fits anywhere into the other LEGO themes but should
be a seperate theme that is listed on the Genres or whatever section that
lists the major themes of LEGO sets.
Galidor also deserves mention as do lesser liked sets. We are preserving
the continuity of LEGO here, people, not being biased idiots favoring one
set over another. Sure, some sets and product lines are horrible but we
must do LEGO a service and show them all. LEGO looks to this web site as
their chief source of information. We are also their future, whether we
like it or not in life.
While we are on this subject, I thought that I would mention that we need
to revamp the whole way that LUGNET is set up. I hate having to resort to
looking through a Top View or Tree View map for a particular theme that is
mixed up with a whole other bunch of little branches such as CAD drawing and
off-topic subjects. I mean, it works nice for an index but I think that we
need to be less biased and more truthful in here. We need to include more
themes on the main page in order to keep traffic more freely flowing on here.
There are many things that the average person, such as myself, does not
understand in LUGNET, such as the hatred of Timmy or of Town Jr. Why has no
one raised a whimper about LEGO Creator or the elimination of LEGO Duplo or
LEGO Primo? LEGO Duplo was the second biggest market in LEGO next to the
other sets, yet no one seems to care about any of those things on here. Why
have arguments over the silliest, most corny thoughts that a person could
think just to get some twisted, psychotic hatred out towards a little chunk
of ABS plastic? Come on, people, there are bigger fish to fry out in the
world. Grow up and move on or be immature and be left behind.
I mean, yes, LEGO does indeed care more about cheap marketing ploys now than
actually being concerned about fun back, say like about three or four years
earlier, but we could always buy stock in LEGO. When a person owns stock in
a company, we become a piece of the machinery of that company. When enough
like minded people or a single person gets enough stock of the company, then
we basically own the company. A really brilliant person could then cause a
boycott and hurt the business of LEGO while at the same time own a lot of
stock in LEGO. Of course, we could simply ask LEGO to be nice and allow the
classic themes to return but in the end, our voice counts.
