(...) That would be nice models! What do you think from a monstertruck (like #8858) with the big wheels from the Power Puller. Or a large cranetruck (with more than 4 drive-axles) Eelco Kooiker (URL) (25 years ago, 2-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.year.2002)

I don't really mind what the models are, as long as they include lots of "standard" technic pieces. The latest sets seem to be heading away from the good, useful, mechanical stuff, and heading more towards looks - I just want more technic beams! (...)

(...) The only thing that I can think of at the moment is that Legoland Theme Parks will probably hold a special event for it (History of Technic, Meet the Designers, etc). (25 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.year.2002)

Ok, its not for another year or so. But in 2002 its the 25th Birthday for the Technic Series What do you like to see or any preditions on the sets for its birthday? I love to see a Car Transport lorry for a 8448 or 8458 or A Working Plane - Jet (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.year.2002)

In the year 2002, Lego will offer custom order sets. In theory, this would allow one to recreate, say, BT1. Or, redo Lego sets that are considered to need work. I, for one look forward to it. (25 years ago, 26-Dec-00, to lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.space, lugnet.general)

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".

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.
