The service pack thread has my undies in a bunch. Why? Because it is as if we are asking for *so* much, when in reality it is *so* little. We are asking (practically begging) TLG to create a product from which they will make *a lot* of money. What (...) (25 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.dear-lego)

If that is what TLG uses for logic behind packs, why in the world would it come out with RES-Q, UFO, etc.? Trains as just as viable a theme as anything else, but probably the most neglected in terms of building anything other than flatbed rail cars. (...) (25 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.trains)
