We at Lugnet have, IMO, been far too critical of TLG. The opening page says
that Lugnet "has been called `the friendliest place on the internet". Not to
TLG. Perhaps new sets don't look as good, but many, if not most, lugnites buy
sets for the parts. Lately we haven't been giving TLG the credit they deserve.
