Is it just me, or is lego.com going downhill. Classic Castle is a much better site. Mainly of course, because it is about castle lego.
I think that it is deteriorating just like lego itself. It hasn't changed its look in over a year. All it shows is "What Will You Make." So is it just me or is the site going down with its owner.

I build, therefore I am.

Welcome to Classic-Castle. Try to visit the chat room once in a while
Anyway LEGO.com is a good website for LEGO promo, nothing more then that. The only part that it is usefull there is ShopAtHome of course, which you can find LEGENDS and other sets that are not available otherwise.

I disagree. www.lego.com serves several purposes but not as a site with alot of freedom for posting your own ideas and discussing LEGO. The website is good for shop at home, finding jobs at LEGO, news releases, new product information, etc.Yea. Lego.com is going down hill. Alot of lego is going down hill unfortunately. I go on there to play games sometimes and maybe look at the online catalog. But that's it.
Theme specific sites like Classic Castle, fbtb.net, etc will always have more freedom for members.

I actually think that Lego.com has gotten quite a bit better. I like the redesign, and it also seems to move a lot faster than it used to (I'm on an ethernet connection, so I guess I'm spoiled, slow refresh rates really bug me). They are (slowly) adding some fun content. The ability to show your own creations doesn't come within light years of Brickshelf, but is okay for the total newbie/kid who isn't into the whole AFOL scene. Some of the games are kind of addictive. The new "build the story" project in the Star Wars section is uber-cool (especially since they chose my Tatooine desert scene ). It's certainly not a site to check daily, or even weekly, but a pretty good site as company sites go.

I remember a few years ago, when I first discovered the online Lego community, there was absolutely nothing to the official Lego site. You could find jobs and read the history of the company, but that was about it. You couldn't purchase sets online or even look at product descriptions. The Lego site is 1000 times better now, in my opinion.

Well IMHO, you simply cannot compare the two. CC is designed and made for people like us who:forester3291 wrote:True. What I menat to say is: Lego.com isn't as good as C-C. Yeah, Product info and prices is something Imentioned so...
1) share a deep love for the castle theme
2) Want a theme specific site to 'advertise' their MOCs
3) to share ideas and thoughts centered around the Castle theme.
The Lego site on the other hand is meant to:
1) promote and sell their products
2) provide a jumping off point for young ones and those new to Lego.
Nevertheless, their site (as far as a recent time period goes) seems to have not changed much and would seem somewhat unattended.
