Re: LEGO Monsters Series 14 Minifigures - Now Sold Out

I was just noting it. Some manufacturer sites leave all reviews good or bad - it can serve to demonstrate their integrity (or at least perception thereof.) Many do indeed remove bad reviews, and I don't fault them for it, but it can lead to a perception of lack of straightforwardness. Again, simply ...

Re: LEGO Monsters Series 14 Minifigures - Now Sold Out

I've been checking the LEGO S@H page for these regularly (still marked SOLD OUT as of today) and I found something interesting. It seems LEGO removed all of the negative reviews. There *had* been a bunch of 1-star ratings based on the sold-out status, but they are now magically gone. I guess I shoul...

LEGO.com website issues?

I've been unable to log into my account at LEGO.com since yesterday. I tried several different browsers thinking it might be the recent Chrome update, but I get nowhere. No errors, it simply doesn't login. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Re: Official Press Release: LEGO 10249 Winter Toy Shop

There is some part and color variation (i.e. the wreaths, jack-in-the-box), including the minifigs, but I sure hope they release an additional holiday set. I've been adding the new set to my holiday decor every year, and while I might grab this as a collectible, it certainly wouldn't make sense to d...

Re: [CAN/US] vip invitation for Nov 22

If you look at your invitation, there's a number over your name. That's your ranking as a purchaser for that store. My number is 26, so this store clearly is doing more than the top 25 customers! :) Also, the hours for the LEGO Special Event at my local store (King of Prussia) are thankfully 9-10am,...

Re: 10% off coupon on Fall 2013 Catalog

I suggest we all complain to TLG, but don't use the store survey from the receipt to do so. That only reflects on that individual store and will probably never get to corporate. If you go to the LEGO website, there are links to file complaints. I generally receive a response when using that.

LEGO Catalog 10% Store Coupon

I just returned from my local LEGO store and I must say I'm extremely disappointed by a new policy concerning the 10% off catalog coupons. I drove to the local store, more than 60 minutes round trip for me, specifically to buy the 10237 Orthanc Tower set, having waited for the coupon to do so. Upon ...

Re: 63 year old AFOL denied entry into Legoland at Vaughan M

Before there are more negative comments against The Lego Group, it should be restated that TLG does not own or operate any of the Legoland parks or Discovery Centres. While I question TLG's decision to sell off these assets, and I hope they will repurchase them sometime in the future, Legoland parks...

Re: LEGO 79111 Constitution Train Chase Lone Rangers Set

The front of the train boiler looks like a new part - ridged dish - or is that just a printed part?

Are the supports on the water tower a new part? I don't recall seeing these before.
