Don't know if this can be confirmed anywhere else but I went to a TRU in MD (USA) and found some Aquaraider sets at 40%.

Now I know this particular topic was started on a color request. Sounds simple enough right? I have a hard time myself understanding why TLC does not produce more colors for more pieces. I am under the understanding that color is cheap to produce. I was told by someone in the know that inventory pr...

Nope.


Yes.

I may have already said too much. From this thread : The thing that is illegitimate is when LEGO puts together information to retailers that they send out in confidence, and this information is leaked by those retailers. Bruce FYI: CC Policy on Leaked Info Talking about a new set is not the same as...

The fact that this set has received such positive response is a good indication of how low expectations have been. [...] For the moment I have an uneasy feeling of being pandered to, especially after so many years of this community being stone-walled. I am also uneasy about the implications behind ...

That's Tolkien, not most.

I was about to say the same thing. MOST fantasy has orcs as a seperate and distinct race. Not hybrids.

The parts you're seeing now are more than likely the reason LEGO announced a manufacturing restructuring two months(?) ago. I'm thinking the sets that will be out in "early spring" will be better. Nothing to back that up...just a guess. We'll see.

[insert stuff here] Worldwide release. This is an "Early Spring" set so it could be out as early as right before X-mas. I would plan on late January though. Now, I'm confused... will this most likely be available in Lego official stores in the U.S. by the 13th of January? Indiana Jones se...

when can we buy this set (and where)? summer 2009? January 2009, at Shop@Home and probably also the lego stores. Does that include the US market? I always thought that our release dates tended to be around August. -Tower Worldwide release. This is an "Early Spring" set so it could be out ...

I think if you were to have posted this a few years back, many here would have agreed with you. I think in the last couple of years LEGO has seen the light and is moving away from the big pre-molded pieces. We'll still see those pieces now and again but for the most part, I think LEGO is doing more ...

Well after the weekend I've had, this news certainly is very welcome.

I wouldn't say I cried over the news or even got more emotional than a big smile but this is fantastic news.

How now brown cow!

I too was fortunate to get several of the pitchforks. That being said, I wouldn't mind seeing a return of these items and others.

Thanks for allowing us to give you money Lego corp! And thanks for not gouging us over the price of your mistake. Oh wait... 16.99 EUR = 23.4870 USD This debate has been regurgitated many times. There are price differences between countries and there are reasons for them. There are several threads ...

They didn't. Steve Witt was able to pounce on a small shipment sent to the US by mistake. It would have either been shipped back to Europe, or worse yet destroyed, but instead he was able to get the green light to sell it to the AFOLs here. Heck, from a business standpoint it's a smart decision - i...

I think that is an excellent question.

Why is that an excellent question?
