 | | New 2001 Lego Racers —Chris Maddison
|
| | | I just got my Nov.-Dec. Mania magazine in the mail yesterday, and inside was an ad for the new Lego Racers.

| | | | | (...) It's not a bad idea in terms of concept only -- but it went sour fast in the implementation. It should have been more Big Daddy Roth and less junior, or Duplo, or whatever...blech...(insert fake rubber vomit here). And I really don't see the (...)

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 (...) (24 years ago, 11-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

| | | | | (...) Wow. Those ARE bad. Are you sure you didn't get hold of some McDonalds advance planning stuff? Those look like something you get in a Happy Meal, not something that has anything to do with building. Sigh. However, remember that Lego has had a (...)

| | | | | (...) 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 (...) (24 years ago, 11-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

What marketing research do they have to back this up? "If we (...) (24 years ago, 12-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)
