(...) I think more important is the first bit from the quote, which says that LEGO owns all merchandising rights. Any company that wants to make Galidor toys, has to get a license from Lego. Which means that Lego is on the upstream side of any (...) (23 years ago, 6-Nov-01, to lugnet.year.2002)

(...) I think this means they have most major toy categories locked up (including the "action figure" segment). On the one hand, it means they will be able to stand out better (unlike the Bob the Builder sets, as I mentioned previously), but on the (...) (23 years ago, 2-Nov-01, to lugnet.year.2002)

Actually, that big Alpha Team base looks like it has potential to be really nice. Everything else looks pretty terrible...yeah, it's nice to get some of those SW figs in smaller sets, but can you actually build anything with any of them? Sheesh. Lou (...)

I am somewhat disappointed by the Cloud Car. It looks like it is indeed all in one color, but I can't tell if it is original red or a new shade. The major disappointment to me is that they do not have enclosed cockpits. It appears the Cloud Car (...) (23 years ago, 1-Nov-01, to lugnet.year.2002)

(...) What's wrong with that? A full-sized mini-figure torso has no alternate uses either. I really want a few of the new figures because 1) A new figure is for once smaller than mini-figures, sort of in-between "mini-fig" and "micro-fig" scale. I (...)

Does this come from the Racers software? (I've never (...) (23 years ago, 31-Oct-01, to lugnet.year.2002)

The new alpha team looks great, much better than the ones we have had so far. These are the kinds of sets that may inspire me to try to build spaceshps again, as lego doesn't seem to be catering to my castle needs much in 2002. Love the new (...) (23 years ago, 31-Oct-01, to lugnet.year.2002)
