I'm not sure if they're "set" on CafePress.com -- but Brad did specifically
mention it.
Out of curiosity, do you know of other shirt places online that do 100% of
the post-design work (taking the orders, taking the money, printing the
goods, shipping the goods, and cutting the checks)?
If you feel strongly that CafePress.com is the wrong choice, be sure to let
Brad know and suggest alternatives to him.

I do hope that they offer artwork in digital format -- pre-color-corrected
for the target printing device. That would save them lots of time when they
quality-assure the products prior to making them available. I remember when
I did the LUGNET T-shirts at CafePress.com, it took a few passes to get the
colors right -- and only when the colors came out well-matched did I make
the shirts available for sale.

I do too. It's a nice solution because it supports community interests and
desires in a way which preserves TLC's intellectual property. LEGO is
showing that they respect fans' desires by doing this, and they're taking
what could have been a bad situation (what happened last month) and looking
to turn it into a positive situation for everyone.
