BobaFett2 Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 I do not have any LEGO Shares, but I know that it is real. Once upon a time, you could contact the Treasurer and bargain for shares. These shares would give many priveleges, such as free entry to LEGO Theme parks, half off at Hotels, and being mailed many LEGO Catalogs and items, such as info pamphlets and retailer catalogs. (I know this from an adult friend of mine). I was wondering if there are any AFOLs here who happen to have LEGO stock and if so, is there any important info that they have about LEGO which they could share here?
prateek Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 No Lego stocks. Sorry. TLC is a family owned company.
BobaFett2 Posted May 23, 2010 Author Posted May 23, 2010 No Lego stocks. Sorry. TLC is a family owned company. I know that. It's special though: you really could contact their treasurer and bargain for a small share BUT LEGO closed it down after a bit. Not a lot of people have these shares, that's why it's not well known.
BobaFett2 Posted May 23, 2010 Author Posted May 23, 2010 This seems highly implausible. Yes, I know. But it's true. If you are on the Brickipedia IRC Channel and you see Glad (User:Gladiatoring on Brickipedia) he can tell you all about it. He has edited the wiki and added a lot of info about older sets not found on many sites.

BobaFett2 Posted May 23, 2010 Author Posted May 23, 2010 (edited) Just to let you know, Brickipedia isn't a very reliable source for stuff like this. Brickipedia isn't the source for this. The source is Gladiatoring. Highly trusted. He explained it's many details to me. Trust me, it's real. Also, Wikis are great sources. Brickipedia has a good portion of serious editors who eliminate spam. Edited May 23, 2010 by BobaFett2
Joey Lock Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 Well as its been established Lego shares "used" to be around, Is there a point in this topic? Because shares in Lego would most probably have either been sold for a high price or when Lego turned into a family owned company they were forced to sell or give away the shares, I'm pretty sure there are no shares any longer. And even if they are real, I'm pretty sure thats something you would boast alot and I have never ever heard of anyone say anything at all about shares in Lego.
BobaFett2 Posted May 23, 2010 Author Posted May 23, 2010 The reason is that information given to them by LEGO can't be posted for 15 years.
mikey Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 ...Once upon a time, ... begins every good fairy storey... I was wondering if there are any AFOLs here who happen to have LEGO stock and if so, is there any important info that they have about LEGO which they could share here? The reason is that information given to them by LEGO can't be posted for 15 years. I very much doubt anyone who obtained these would jeopardize thier special agreement, by revealing information would they?
The Legonater Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 The reason is that information given to them by LEGO can't be posted for 15 years. Then why did you post it? I seriously doubt this, sorry.
Clone OPatra Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 While this is some interesting information, if true, this thread is now seeming to go down a dark path. Perhaps sometime we can see some pictures of thing obtained by people who had LEGO shares, but until then, I'm afraid this thread is turning into a "I don't believe you" fest, so to save BobaFett2 the trouble of arguing it out, I'm going to close it down. Thanks for your understanding.
