joeroy Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 Hi guys It a setback to those Singapore collector collecting Lego. Which I am one of them. Here is the new that I receive from my local country.... Dear LEGO Club Member, CLOSURE OF LEGO CLUB SINGAPORE We regret to inform you that LEGO Club Singapore will cease operations with effect from January 1, 2005. However, we are deeply grateful for the support you have given us since its inception. We will continue to inform you either via email or post, information with regard to all LEGO events, including the ever-popular LEGO Warehouse Sales Quote
Orlego Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 With Lego searching for ways to save money I would not be surprised if the whole program in its current form isn't shut down in every country. The cost to print and ship each magazine has to be ridiculous when you consider how many they must send out. A lot of publications are going the way of the record. With more and more people getting computers with net access, the fewer publications you will see. For a company the internet offers huge benefits. The internet is cheap and fast. It can be updated at anytime to provide the latest info and since the size of the content does not matter (print costs keeps the amount of content limited) the Internet can offer far more. ;) Quote
The Middleman Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 Damn, that's really bad, Orlego. I've grown up with the LEGO Club. Quote
Jipay Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 I find this sad in some ways... But I could never belong to a lego club since there is none in france. Hope you will pass through it joeroy. We will try our best here to become a good substitute for ya ;) Quote

Hello guys since I don't get anymore newletter from my local country is there anyway that I can get from other foreign country? Quote
Orlego Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 Damn, that's really bad, Orlego. I've grown up with the LEGO Club. Yeah, I know it sounds bad and I also still get the club magazine for nostalgic reasons but if it helps Lego stay alive I will happily see it go. BTW... Jipay.... Why does joeroy's title say 200th member but the member number below his name says member 201? Just wondering. ;) Quote
Jipay Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 because members doesnt start at 0 ? I didn't gave the name by the way so don't ask me Quote
joeroy Posted February 6, 2005 Author Posted February 6, 2005 because members doesnt start at 0 ? I didn't gave the name by the way so don't ask me I think jipay start with number 1 that why mine is 201 hahaha |-D Quote
Brickmaster Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 ooh, that sucks. i grew up with the lego club as well, in fact, almost all the lego magazines i got are just sitting in the closet. its always good to look back sometimes, but it also reminds me of how much lego has changed in the past years...

Orlego Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 because members doesnt start at 0 ? I didn't gave the name by the way so don't ask me Why did he get that name Jipay? :P :P ;) Quote

jonfett Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 Why does joeroy's title say 200th member but the member number below his name says member 201? Just wondering. ;) The reason for this, is that I deleted your other account Orlego.. so all members from about 198 onwards have one higher member no. than they should. And btw, it was me that gave joeroy his title :P Jon. Quote
