Darth_Ewok Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7407020/ "The privately held company said Wednesday net losses more than doubled last year to 1.93 billion Danish crowns ($330 million). Sales fell 6.8 percent to 6.7 billion kroner, or about $1.2 billion" thats not a good sign :/ (maybe mister phes can buy it and turn it into a lego pirate theme park!) ;) :-D Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted April 17, 2005 Governor Posted April 17, 2005 Yes, I was thinking along those lines myself once. I remember seeing the Pirates Ahoy Lego Exhibition in 1993. Theme parks devoted to those sculptures would be very excellent indeed. Quote
The Middleman Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 Shouldn't this be in the 'Buy, sell, trade, and finds' forum? :P Seriously though, LEGO lost money because their products were crap. They tried a lot of things that didn't work. Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted April 18, 2005 Governor Posted April 18, 2005 Yes indeed Bloody Jay! However LEGO isn't going to admit their products are crap and nobody wants to buy them? They're going to make it look was other things contributing to their financial losses. Quote
xwingyoda Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 If you read the Lego press conference following the annual report: "Structure of the Group Ownership of the Group changed during the year between its subsidiary companies. LEGO Holding A/S is now the parent of both the Danish and the Swiss parts of the Group. In 2004 it was also decided to dispose of activities which are not regarded as part of the LEGO Group Quote

Or even Q2: ROTS came in April so who exactly knows?? Yeah, but they had to release it then in order to coincide with the release of all ROTS products. Quote
xwingyoda Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 Do you remember when the big releases of 2004 were?? Quote

Wolf04 Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 What's a V-Wing? *wacko* Mr. Lucas may have a creative mind but these names suck....X-Wing....Y-Wing....B....V....A...c'mon my mom could come up with better names for spaceships. Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted April 19, 2005 Governor Posted April 19, 2005 Patience my young furry friend, a nice surprise with unveil itself at due course ;) Yes, we all know that good things come to those who wait, don't we? Why do I not believe that? Quote
Darth_Ewok Posted April 19, 2005 Author Posted April 19, 2005 But is there actually a V-Wing set coming out? if there is, I'm going to try to intercept shipments to my local TRU to try and get one. ;) A V-wing would be AWESOME! :-D :-D :-D :-D Quote
Wolf04 Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 Oh just great more sets coming out just when I am grounded 'cause of not meeting my parents' expectations in school marks. Quote
The Middleman Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 Oh just great more sets coming out just when I am grounded 'cause of not meeting my parents' expectations in school marks. Don't worry - it's not until September. ;) Quote
Darth_Ewok Posted April 20, 2005 Author Posted April 20, 2005 IS THERE A V-WING OR NOT!! *devil* *devil* *devil* Quote
snefroe Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 didn't some one suggest a lego V-wing would be released next year? i believe Jon even posted a photo of the real V-wing, not the lego V-wing, if that already exists... Personally, i'm not really waiting for a V-wing. we already have too many of that type of fighters... perhaps it's time to build a completely different vehicle... Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted April 20, 2005 Governor Posted April 20, 2005 Oh just great more sets coming out just when I am grounded 'cause of not meeting my parents' expectations in school marks. Mwuhahahahaahaaa!!! Just how high are these expectations? Quote
Darth_Ewok Posted April 20, 2005 Author Posted April 20, 2005 NEED V-WING!!!!!! *devil* *devil* *devil* but more seperatist vehicles would be just as good :) especially a homing spider droid (whats with the homing?) Quote
