Re: Kingdoms MSRPs?

Earlier I forgot to mention that the Lion knights battle pack had some small quality control issues. Of the battle packs I was able to choose from last week many were missing a shield being held by the knight in the top left of the set as one looks at the package. There were also printing issues wit...

Re: Kingdoms MSRPs?

Yeah, that's what I got from the Lego store yesterday in San Mateo, CA where I purchased most of them. I'm only semi-complete on this line, since I haven't yet noticed a good reason to buy the seemingly useless catapult sets. I dunno, I'll probably get them at deep discount or just to be complete at...

Kingdoms MSRPs?

Does anyone have access to the official lego prices for the Kingdoms line of sets and can post about it here? I've checked lego.com but they've still only got one set listed. That's so lame...

Thanks in advance.

I guess that wraps up that discussion unless Josh wants to reply here or there.

They have to be able to use the same pieces in as many different places and sets as possible. If they can't, it is very hard to get their requests approved. Well, I'll take "very hard" to mean difficult but not at all impossible. In fact... ...Lego makes single use items all the time - ta...

Did I ask your advice? Are you a therapist? Do you imagine that you can know me from mere words on a screen? Troll much?

If you have nothing topical to contribute then don't.

Earth Orange (Brush, Autumn Color) Reddish Brown (Branches, Autumn) Tan (Brush, Dried Leaves) In a more perfect world I would co-sign your whole list - as is I will stick to supporting the three colors above. Brown is simply a must - and reddish brown is the new brown, right? Regular orange and yel...

I thought the existence of PAB was to liquidate excess inventory from production runs. I assume that every product line has a life of its own. But I could see how the notion of excess inventory could be reasoned from the evidence. But to the contrary, I would argue that they know enough about their...

Honestly, does this need it's own thread? It's a different topic. Your earlier remarks have been highly chiding and in some cases downright sarcastic. I have to disagree. I may be critical and I may prod, but surely a mature person like Aaron doesn't need or want my approval. I will stand behind my...

What can and cannot be done

Someone wrote to me privately about a post I made in this forum. I find the subject suitable for public discussion. So, here is my reply to that person. Every word that is below is my content and mine alone. I don't even quote the other person in my reply - I paraphrase. Just sayin'... ----- You mak...

I agree that we have had some very pleasant surprises this last year and going forward into the next quarter or half year. I hope it may last. I just find it odd that positive moves forward seem to come in waves. Some years back we had Lego Direct and the Legends and the MOC lines (Dan's set, which ...

..it's inappropriate for LAs to pass on fan requests for set or part ideas to LEGO unless LEGO makes the request themselves. Jeez, I would have thought that would be a major part of liaising between the two groups. Obviously it cannot be taken as given that Lego employees read this forum (although ...

The pitchfork is an incredibly important element and it should be brought back into production as either the same design or updated somehow and serving the same function. Throughout the centuries most people worked the land. They have to have the necessary hand-tools to do the job. I have about as m...

It's the last line of his post. Does it strike you as a hopeful statement? All that really needing saying was: "I'll pass it along." Everyone always acts like Lego couldn't do this when everyone knows that they really just could. It's 1-2 elements we want in more colors. That's it. FWIW, I...
