Now now.
For better or worse, our company budgets are localized. If I work with my NA
colleagues to develop some program, it may or may not be picked up by their EU
colleagues. I can’t force them to do anything, and sometimes certain things work
in one country that might not work as well in another. We provide very hefty
support for LEGOWorld (European), but don’t do something similar in NA.
I’m very interested to hear from the Australians (or anyone else around the
world for that matter), and I’m always open to talk about what I/we can do to
help you out.

It is dissappointing that non-NA’s miss out on LEGO Direct’s community
development.
|
I don’t know that I would agree that “non-NAs” miss out. My colleague Kate is
currently working with Germany, UK, Holland, and parts of Asia. She is expanding
her contacts across Europe and Asia on a daily basis.

Australia is small market... hmmm... you’d almost think some ‘community
development’ might help change that though!
|
I would love to talk to you about this if you have ideas, or need support. We
aren’t ignoring you or anything like that. I can only do so much in the course
of a day. So much of the support and interaction of the LEGO Commmunity
Development Team is reactive, responding to fans who ask for help, or have ideas
they want to pull off. Or if I have heard certain requests time and again, I may
do something proactive based on this feedback.
Besides, I don’t do a lot of proactive because I know that some
people/clubs/groups don’t have a lot of interest in working with the company.
That’s completely fine in my book. The way I look at it, you (person/club/group)
know what you need better than I do. You know what you are looking for. And you
know how to contact me when you are ready.
As I’ve said many times, my inbox is always open. Drop me a line (jake AT lego
DOT com). Tell me what you need. Share with me what you’re doing. I’m here to
help. I only have so much time in a day, so help me out and tell me your out
there. Tell me what you need. Tell me how I can help.
Looking forward to hearing from you Richie, et. al.!
Jake

I believe that LEGO Australia has been approached several times for support of local events, and their response has ranged from the negative to the very negative. Thanks!
