Jake-
Im surprised at the name choice. TLC usually chooses billion dollar companies
as partners for co-marketing, joint ventures, and other business relationship.
Affiliate is almost universally a term in the same league and implies a pretty
tight business ownership path. The relationship intended here is recognition of
individuals and authorized association with the brand. What you need is a term
like LEGO Professional or Certified LEGO Designer -- something appropriate
for an individual.

Upon another minutes thought, the term that really seems appropriate is
Certified LEGO Professional.

Um, you'd more likely be a Certified Nutcase with a bonus eligibility to
receive a monthly check... :P

I totally disagree. The term Affiliate to my mind suggests something thats
open to anyone, the prototypical example being Amazon.com affiliate program.
When I saw the subject of Jakes email, I thought they were introducing some
kind of deal where I could put a link to Shop@Home on my Web page and receive a
small kickback whenever a customer uses that link to order LEGO products there.
I will agree with you in one respect though: its not a very good name choice.
I do, however, think its a great idea and one whose time has come. I might
start getting serious about doing LEGO sculpture as a business if I thought I
could use this program to get raw materials, etc.

Except that to me says theyve taken an expensive training course, an expensive
test, and have an ID card so they can show off their status...

Ok, people are spending way too much time worrying about the name. You know
were just gonna end up using some abbreviation like LAffi in true online lego
community style.
Now what I want to know is whats all this about bricks in bulk? What exactly
is considered an appropriate project?

Heres something that would really set the AFOL community into an uproar....
what if the affiliates were able to get bricks (or parts) in bulk that were not
available to the general AFOL community. Although I doubt this would happen.

What I think would be very cool is something where anyone (train club,
someone building a sculpture etc) can get parts from a certain range of
parts in bulk if they place a minumum order of <n bricks> where n depends
on the part being ordered.

I think an even greater uproar would result if the bricks are glued together
for the project!
More to the point, can the Affiliate keep the bricks and/or sell them? I
would be surprised if the answer to this is yes, because it would turn any
Affiliate in the ABS equivalent of a crack dealer! ;-)
