Great stuff! Are there plans to have such meeting again someday? It's great
to hear that Lego is _really_ in touch with their community!

I guess the NDA covers future products, or does it also cover other things?
Please tell us for a rough indication about what questions we don't have to
bother asking.


We have just spent Friday evening and all
day Saturday meeting with folks from Lego Direct including Brad Justus,
Peter Andersen, an LD product manager, Jorn Kristian Thomsen the lead Lego
trains designer from Billund, Jake McKee, producer, and Steven Hawco, in
charge of the Shop at Home operation.

I was wondering if the folks from Lego all are reading Lugnet and what their

'different' than 5 years ago?


ways to

More will be forthcoming from us in days to come but I was so excited I had
to use LEGO connectivity (We're in NYC) to get this out in front of folks.

Hope to hear more about this soon :-)
