 | | LOM vs. Space (was Re: On Paranoia: King Leo's Castle)

(...) Well, it all depends on how you look at it. LOM is not (at least, not according to lugnet) considered as part of the Space line (1). I don't know how accurate that is, I wouldn't bet my life on it, but there's probably a reason for it not to (...) (24 years ago, 4-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.space)

Unless 2002 shows some sign of turnaround in the LEGO world, I'm afraid LEGO will lose a fan/customer in all areas except for technic/mindstorms. Being a town fan, if I can't mix new LEGO with the past 20 years worth of my collection then how am I (...) (24 years ago, 3-Feb-01, to lugnet.year.2001)
