never will be any Lego Direct. How would resellers of Lego be able to
make any money if all people bought were individual pieces? Hope no one
got too excited from my previous post.
Happy Holidays. And Play Well.

was on the ball. Also I think re releasing vintage Lego sets is a bad idea. If
they do that the only people who would make any money is Lego. You don't see
Ford rerealising their Model T's because vintage car collectors would be
furious, I think the same applies with Lego.

There is a scammer, but not the real Brad Justus.
I just now received a legitimate email from Brad Justus. To the best of my
ability to verify, Brad Justus and the new LegoDirect do exist.
Now, let us return to playing with our Lego (beats wasting time online).

People want old sets because the current train and town sets SUCKS. So
if someone having 5 sets of unopened Metroliner hoping to sell them for
$300 each will be burned if it is re-released. That is fine with me.
There was no "Limited edition" or "Never re-release" printed on the boxs
didn't it?

O.K. then how about if TLG released a metroliner with a different color scheme?

Arsewipe. Who gives a rat's what you think. You're a good justification for
gun laws.

You mean gun laws REQUIRING guns for people with brains, so we can blow away the
ones without?
Or laws to keep them out of the hands of morons like that troll?

I meant the laws that stop me having a gun to take those genes out of the
pool.
Mind you, I like your laws better ;-)

Boy, I really hope these 'sudden death' responses are a joke. I'm used to
the morass of humanity acting like idiots, but I kind of thought that LEGO
fans were slightly above that.
Make no mistake, I think the guy who did that is an ignorant jerk with way
too much time on his hands, who should be gently helped off of the
internet and/or into everyone's killfile...but death threats are a bit
extreme.
Maybe I'm just overreacting because I heard about some guy punching a
Burger King worker because she had the audacity to tell him that they had
run out of Pokemon toys, and I was thinking to myself, "Jeez, what if that
guy had had a gun?" But then again, maybe I'm not - violence over toys is
not the reaction of a sane person.

What's violent about voluntarily lying back and going to sleep?
