hi
i should ask lego directly but they probably have more important work to do
:)
i'm curious
- how many creators build models for lego (especially technic)?
some models are really great while some are... pure
- is it only because of age of target group? (i suppose not)
- what pressure marketing staff puts on the "shape" of creations
- why they add violet or light green parts to technic stuff
(maybe it's targeting to girls :)
- is it really so expensive to produce bricks so they are so... expensive?
when i see shelfs full of bionicle only
i cannot imagine how lego is going to increase the sale
even xmas gives me nothing (in shops... in poland) why why why???
on lego.com i read info that lego fired 160 ppl because of pure xmas sale
if lego is too expensive maybe putting prices down on xmas would help
(let say that RIS20 costs as same as hipermarket worker earns)
in poland we have one company which creates 100% compatible bricks
they even won in court copyright trial against lego (in fact lego against
COBI)
i remember when lego advertise itself on TV
now i can see only COBI bricks in TV and cinema comercials :(
cobi sets are for less than half price comparing to simmilar lego sets
is lego going to leave polish market
is it happening worldwide???
i know you guys don't know too much about polish market
but is it happening everywhere
tell me what is really going on
pixel
oops i made offtipic post - sorry
but i started from technic question :)

| (...) The first really odd colours were introduced during 1998-1999, I believe. They were the teal and purple, as seen in the Cybermaster.

| (...) I have been disappointed in LEGO lately. It seems they are giving in to low mentality, cut to the chase, parts and sets. I remember when there was a lot of technic on the store shelves. Now it is Bionicle and Mega blocks. :-( I wonder why they (...) (22 years ago, 19-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

| Thanks God someone started this thread (I was maybe shy...) but I've got some things to say... The only good (and relatively cheap) Technic sets that were available here in Colombia were the 8437 and 8459.... and that was in 1997-1998.... after (...) (22 years ago, 19-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)
