Exo-force comics[edit]

Do we really need the dates that all the differant exo-force comics were released? Jukilum 15:52, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Exo-force comic dates, etc, seem to dilute the company history greatly. If people want to add *product* information, I think it may be a good step to create a seperate timeline for that, and keep the "Lego Timeline" specific to the Lego company itself.

Possible timeline errors[edit]

See this thread on LUGNET : [1] which discusses possible errors. It may be beneficial to disclaim whether this timeline is based on official LEGO information, or on other sources. The LUGNET thread is not, itself, an authoritative source but participants there, especially Gary Istok, have access to authoritative sources which could be referenced. ++Lar: t/c 14:24, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Other Products[edit]

Lego now makes sports bags, backpacks, towels, cups, tableware, muffin pans (shaped like BIG 2x2 Lego bricks!), ice brick trays, and wooden furniture as of summer 2007. Should this be added? ~The Little Green Man from Mars^{(My Page)}_{(Where do I live?)} 22:35, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The items you mention are 'not' made by LEGO. They are licensed by third parties companies for LEGO. The timeline has to do with the history of the company. GoTLG —Preceding comment was added at 03:47, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bley[edit]

A change that is somewhat significant, especially since it meant old bricks and new bricks were visibly different, is the famed "bley" color change, which caused a great deal of consternation among Lego fans at the time, so much that the CEO himself had to post an open letter to angry fans (a copy still here as of today). Would anyone be able to offer a reasoned line and link about the whole affair in the timeline? 85.218.94.139 (talk) 15:18, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Citing sources[edit]

It would appear this article is mostly (merely?) a copy of the timeline from the Lego website. If so, then it has no reason to be on Wikipedia as a separate article and could merely be an external link in History of Lego, per WP:NOT, WP:PRIMARY ("Do not base articles entirely on primary sources."), WP:N and WP:EL. If there is more to this timeline than what is on the Lego website, then there should be additional footnotes from independent reliable sources to establish where these elements in the timeline come from and why they are notable.--137.122.49.102 (talk) 14:10, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
