This is like going back to the dark ages !
Your website is on my top5 list of websites. I stop by nearly every day to
see what great new MOCs people have build. Your webdesign and the
webinterface for uploading galleries are simply great. I hope LEGO reacts
quick and gives you the permission to continue the Instuction and Catalog
scan library.
In fact your work is excellent advertising for LEGO. For example: I ordered
the "Super Chief" at S@H because I saw it on brickshelf.com ! LEGO should
therefore:
a) Give you the permission to continue this excellent service
b) Give you all the webspace needed for ALL galleries
c) Give you a JOB !!! (and tons of LEGOs ;)
Anyway, good luck for finding a new job ! Also good luck as the Manager of
Brickshelf L.L.C. ! I´d gladly pay a monthly or anual fee for this great
site. Please let us know how we can support you.
