I´m not bitter, sorry if I come out that way. But this was proposed almost the day after the launch. It has been discussed on EB + all other open communtys, it has been brought to TLG through Afol´s both verbally & written, by the Ambassadors in the Ambassadors forum & at events & at meetings with TLG employees both verbally & written - and it has been explained by TLG why it´s not going to happen (but of course - one should never give up ). That written, my focus is more on not to keep crying over lost milk than taking some positive action. What do I mean by that then? Well here´s some examples on what can be done: Design an alternative model like the 10022/10025 and send it to TLG Start a petition all over the communitys and bring the numbers to TLG Contact a LUG/sign onto a LUG and try to benefit from the LUGBULK program to get the pieces Will those two first do it? Don´t think so but ...... If I were into trains and wanted more carriages I would get the pieces and build me some. Lego is as you all know a system of parts that you yourself could build into what you want. Well, you have the instructions & the possibility to get the pieces - what´s the problem? I don´t think concentrateting on the "bad side" of the launch of an excellent set out of the blue, by saying basicly that TLG is stupid because they don´t do another carriage set, is the best approach. Instead we should design new stuff/put in ideas for things NOT being built/pieces NOT being made, to be able to build new stuff. This is more like a set being sold out and we, the Afol´s kicking TLG for not making one more copy so I could have bought it ! But of course you and everybody else are entitled to your opinions, it just felt to me that´s this issue been there, done that .

! You´re a true CS nerd! -
Welcome to Eurobricks Deefuzz ! I´m glad you have found your way back from the dark ages and enjoy Lego again. I don´t know how well you know the online Lego world, but a great place to get sets and part is Bricklink, here´s a link to all the sets, where I´m sure you´ll find your childhood ones! And there´s great Lego shops in Chicago, especially this one ! Check out what´s happening in this thread also.

I dont´know the whole story but I know a bit, and you can listen to it or keep ignoring it & and do a closed circle argument. I think TLG has sold a lot of sets for $100 and up depending on country, and a bit of that sale is from people wanting another carriage. Among other factors it´s an economical one, and I´m sure the breakdown was that it´s a better deal as they did it. We dont´have the whole picture but what I´ve heard makes sense big time. And there you explained it yourself. It worked out for you then! See my other post and the text above. But what is the problem getting this for around $18 + shipping?:4 pieces 10 pieces I understand your frustration a bit, I loved the Santa Fe setup, but that´s not how it was made this time. So get over it and be happy with the great set 10194 is and that TLG made it for us - yes us Afol´s, and then build your own extra carriages! And you can Moc them and make a really cool looking train !

Not exactly what you wanted but still, check out Brick Fetish for great stuff !

I will definately come to the EB Event!
CopMike replied to Ras 74's topic in LEGO Events and User Groups
Yeah, you can take that to the bank ! - I´m sure that this event WILL be in the contest, so many posts about it just proves it´s excellence ! -
1. TLG don´t want the attention going away from buying 10194, a.k.a competing with "themself".2. The planning for sets are usually a 1-2 year circle, there´s no room in the current program. 3. 10194 is a one-time set, meaning that it´s not in a line like the old 9V or RC. Think of it as the Beetle or Imperial Flagship.

Next time, also try to search Bricklink. Just write Track in the Catalog Items, and then refine it by choosing Train, Track and you get this. There you can find it. Searching Bricklink a couple of times let you master your collection in a whole new dimension !
-
I can´t find any, the only Moc you´ve done recently is this for my Xmas raffle, and that´s totally another "contest" (which I´m still working out the details on).

This is not built by cavegod, he´s just going to copy it and give it interior as he wrote in the first post. The AT-AT in the picture is built by RockoTM, check out more pictures here.

As you can read above it´s a program from TLG that let´s Lego User Groups, basicly physical clubs, to buy quantities of parts to be able to build models to bring to exhibitions.

The question was up also in our Ambassador forum, and another Ambassador, Christian, made this good summary:Q elements are elements that are restricted in the usage. Usually that means only model builders in Legoland parks and designers within the LEGO company can use them. Example parts are for example brown 12v train tracks, 2 x 4 building bricks in dark nougat or trans clear round 2 x 2 tiles. Another type of Q listed parts are new parts that will be out in the future, usually even the Legoland parks don't have access to those.

Well, I guess you refere to this: That should about right taking the exchange rate from for example www.xe.com.

From Jan B: The LEGO LUGBULK Program was a big success last year so we have decided to continue the program – still as a pilot which can be terminated anytime - in 2010 but with some adjustments and even more defined rules based on our experience from last year. We are happy to announce, that we in 2010 can offer the LEGO LUGBULK Program also in the USA. Read more about it here !

What's with the staff's usernames?
CopMike replied to Sir Dano's topic in Forum Information and Help
I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, smurf?
