| (...) Indeed. Assuming TLC solves the "license one person's design so others can order it" problem in a way that makes it attractive for designers to contribute, and in a way that makes it easy for consumers to find "the good stuff". Some people (...) (25 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

| Yeah, I think you've misunderstood just a bit. I personally think it's a great idea. Why? Well, to be honest I wouldn't use it myself, but I don't think it'll replace the new sets. Lego is looking to expand itself, not radically change suddenly. (...) (25 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

| One thing to consider is to look what is happening to the 'e-business' companies such as Amazon.com and Etoys.com. They are not making any $$. This Christmas is the 'make or break' for them to actually turn a profit. I don't see e-commerce taking (...) (25 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

| It isn't/won't. TLC will always design sets - heck, the have the SW license through 2007! The new software will be a supplement product, like Mosaic. As to the exact details of what it will contain, none of us know yet. Will it be a wide range of (...) (25 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

| Most people love the idea of being able to design sets online and order them. I don't like it. I might try it, but I really hope that TLC continues to design sets to sell in stores. Here's why having all LEGO online would be bad-- - They would (...) (25 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

Also, a main reason for the perhaps "targeted age bracket" of book 4 could have something to do with the fact there's a death of a boy, age 17, at the end. It'll be (...)

| | | | | Re: There WILL Be african-american figures in 2001?!? (or will they? 2002?)
|
| (...) No, I really doubt that. The sets for 2001 will be based on the movie, which is purely HP and the Sorceror's/Philosopher's Stone. So it doesn't get into the second book, let alone the fourth. And even if Angelina appears in the movie as a very (...) (25 years ago, 2-Dec-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.year.2002)
