(...) Looks like they are after the "mum, can I have that ?" market. Cheap enough for the parent to give in, and look there is 8 in the set. All getting very HTO/Impulse purchase orientated. It's worked for fast food retaurants/breakfast cereal (...) (25 years ago, 11-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

Well - I didn't like them *that* much more... but at least they were still *lego*... (...) It's so much fun, isn't it? ;-) I do it (...) (25 years ago, 11-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

| | New 2001 Lego Racers
|
|
I just got my Nov.-Dec. Mania magazine in the mail yesterday, and inside was an ad for the new Lego Racers. Y'know, those ugly little critters we saw artist's conceptions of (in the 2001 catalog, I believe). Well, they have the actual sets in there, (...)
