Jipay Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Well don't worry i'm we will be able to help you ! :) Quote
BryanKinkel Posted February 25, 2005 Author Posted February 25, 2005 I have just recieved news from Lego (Jake) Its indeed true Vikings will be out In Europe, and Dinosaurs in America.......... So the very last speculation is over......DoubleT Thanks for confirming this. Wow, what a shock. :( Reminds me of yellow-Castle era sets only available in Europe. Despite being pictured in the Bill & Mary Idea Book. And the 12V train line only being available in Europe. *devil* *devil* Quote
Jipay Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Yeah for a large fee :-D ;) Of course my friend :-D I've been charge almost 20 dollars of expedition fee for a tie fighter from an american ebayer... Time to give the change :-D Quote
Vader Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Those viking sets are going to go through the roof on ebay, thank god we will get them instead of the new dino sets. :) Quote
Jipay Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Those viking sets are going to go through the roof on ebay, thank god we will get them instead of the new dino sets. :) We just have to make sure the roof is really high :-D It is so good to see finally europe is rewarded in some way for its resistance against megablock !

Vader Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Yep we stayed strong and just said no to the evil megabloks and now we shall be rewarded :-D ;) Quote
Wolf04 Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 I just came from school and it has been a good day until I read this. LEGO is really messed up!!!!!! F*** you LEGO. You're making the dumbest mistake ever. Well, I had a huge list of LEGO sets tp be bought but it seems it has to be thrown in the fire. I'm not being anymore stupid LEGO. Ytf do we have to get the f***ed up, stupid dinosaur sets?!!?!?! There should be a press release on this on why it is this way and I don't want bull crap excuses like *because that's the market*!!! LEGO has made a lot of mistakes recently and hopefully they'll burn in hell for the mistakes they've done. I hope they sufer greatly!!!!! *devil* Quote
Lego_of_Troy Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Well, I've got FANTASTIC news for us Americans. You know what they say...it's darkest just before the dawn. I emailed Jake earlier today after being dismayed and frustrated to hear that Vikings would be euro-exclusive. here was his response (thanks, jake!)... Hi there, sorry to hear about your frustration. I'm not sure where your info is coming from, but it's 90% sure that we'll be bringing Vikings to S@H worldwide - like we do with nearly all of our product lines. So fear, not, you'll be able to get your hands on Vikings! (Look for a LUGNET post from me on this later today) Jake Hahah! Great news for us North Americans. And a big sorry to our fellow european fans -- sorry you won't get the chance to screw us over with price-gouging. |-D Quote
DoubleT Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Lego will not sell the Dino sets in Europe, why? Well they think they are to agressiv for Europe.... And Americans likes it?? Quote
The Middleman Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 As long as they're on S@H, that's where I get most, if not all, of my sets. Thank god. Quote
David85 Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 If they were not available online Lego would have lost another customer. People wonder why stores, like Walmart, treat Lego like shit, maybe it's because Lego treats them like shit. Lego only has there best sets online, how amazing would the Vikings sell in America and they screw over the chainstores again. Quote
sam89 Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Jake has just posted about this on Lugnet: http://news.lugnet.com/lego/?n=3211 So it seems Americans WILL get the Viking sets on S@H, but Europeans won't get the D.I.N.O sets at all. Quote

Now who's laughing bitches! :P And I love this... "In addition, there is a metric ton of business decisions that went into making this call." Really? Kind of like what went through when changing the greys? Oh wait.... Lego, just when I thought they were getting smarter pulls this shit off, who dumb. Quote
jonfett Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Now who's laughing bitches! Erm.. still us, because we don't have to face the embarrassment of the Dino line being sold in our countries! :P Jon. Quote

We "elected" Bush for a second term so you don't even know what embarrassment is. :P Quote
jonfett Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Going back on topic for a minute.. there is always one who doesn't want to believe :| http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=85913 Jon. Quote
David85 Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Kind of like how I felt on November 3rd... Oh yeah Legos.... I don't want to belive it either it is so dumb. Stores probably do want to order these and cannot, or maybe Lego is seeing how many stores want the Vikings before releasing them here. Or maybe Lego is just so god damn dumb that they want to piss off the last remaining stores that don't hate them. Quote
Wolf04 Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 If the Vikings theme is for sale in Canada, then I take back most of the bad things I said what I said and I'm happy, if not then, I stand by my previous comments. I don't get, why is it such a hard decision? LEGO knows MOST of the sales come from NA because that's where a lot of people buy LEGO and by not selling the Vkings line, they LOSE a lot of good reputation and money. *murmuring*stupid LEGO company... "In addition, there is a metric ton of business decisions that went into making this call. "....my megablocks...that post is still filled with a bunch of megablocks...the right market??? Psh, LEGO wouldn't know the right decision, if it was written right in front of their eyes. Quote
sam89 Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 The stupidest thing is that Lego aren't releasing the DINO line AT ALL in Europe. That doesn't seem very fair to me. Sure the DINO sets aren't great, but they have some good aspects to them :/ Quote

The Middleman Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Hahaha, now all the Euro folks are pissed. :P Quote

Sure the DINO sets aren't great, but they have some good aspects to them :/ Oh and it was all fair when it seemed the USA wasn't getting the Viking sets that are 100 times better? The good aspects are the prices. The set I want is the buggy and thta will only be $4, that would be about 13 pounds. :P The helicopter is a crazy megablocks price through for $60, and the "tank" is a ripoff price of $40. And Wolf Jake is a uselose whore that doesn't know what's going on or understands it. He is just the person that Lego throws out there so it looks like it's hius fault. A better desion would be to fire his megablocks and save the yearly money. Quote
