| Joe - Your roadsters are fantastic! I hadn't seen the red one previously so your announcement about the green one gave me the chance to see them both for the first time. The designs on these cars are really well done and are exactly the kind of (...) (22 years ago, 10-Aug-02, to lugnet.town)

| (...) Hiya Justin, I signed it, I'd love it, but REALLY I'd rather it said remake THE BEST sets from the 1980s AND 1990s, and reissue them with UPDATED DECORATIVE PRINT, PART & COLOR selections. Otherwise it would be asking for the Golden Harp from (...) (22 years ago, 10-Aug-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space, lugnet.castle, lugnet.town)

| (...) Three things to remember: 1. Kids like toys that reflect culture, as well as fictional elements of culture and subcultures (i.e. Star Wars). 2. Lego is a business that makes toys. 3. Lego makes toys that kids like. BTW, if 2 isn't accomplished (...) (22 years ago, 10-Aug-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space, lugnet.castle, lugnet.town)
| | | | | Re: Say it ain't so...
|
| (...) Okay, really look at those old Space LEGO sets (which I LOVE!), their design is WORSE for anything like atmosphere. Imagine the hell a Starfleet Voyager would have landing on, say, Hoth?? HOW could a Galaxy Explorer carry enough fuel to land (...) (22 years ago, 10-Aug-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space, lugnet.castle, lugnet.town)

| (...) I guess you haven't seen the petition I started a while ago: (URL) would love to get it to Lego, it's just I only have about 25 people on the list! I need everybody's help so this can convince TLC to bring back the sets we love. If you want to (...) (22 years ago, 9-Aug-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space, lugnet.castle, lugnet.town)

| (...) I was just at a Target in Los Angeles yesterday and saw a bunch of Alpha Team and Harry Potter stuff. I don't know if you'll find the AT helicopters very easily. This year's release of AT stuff is all based around submarine vehicles. Some are (...) (22 years ago, 9-Aug-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space, lugnet.castle, lugnet.town)
| | | | | Re: Say it ain't so...
|
| (...) That's why they call it Lego Direct. As in, direct to the customer. Not through a retailer. Lego makes more money on each set sold that way, so they can afford smaller production runs (which cost more). The sets that are unique to Lego Direct (...)

| | | | | Re: Say it ain't so...

| (...) The theory goes that Space Port was a town sub-theme, and LoM was what happened when the Space Port guys made it to Mars. The supposed reason was that LEGO had to agree not to make any non-SW space sets when they made the deal with SW. (...)

Since the last time I checked, the only way to get some legends sets or accessory packs was to fly to tbe nearest lego land, or buy online. A (...)

| | | | | Re: Several new vehicle MOCs
|
| (...) It took me a while to figure out a way to make the trailer hitch. It's not quite accurate, but I think it's the best that can be done at that scale using the parts available. The folding engine cover on the yellow truck isn't new, it's the (...) (22 years ago, 9-Aug-02, to lugnet.town)

| | | | | Re: Several new vehicle MOCs
|
| (...) Thanks. That's my favorite too. The 4x4 tile with one row of studs makes a great engine bonnet. Originally I had a regular 4x4 black plate there, but then I had a moment of inspiration and switched it for the big tile from my Jango's Slave I (...) (22 years ago, 9-Aug-02, to lugnet.town)

| (...) Anti-gravity boosters? Well, I suppose that could be a reality too, but depending on the atmosphere, It might need a different design if it isn't to fly down like a rock.
