Lego is posting here to make money out
of us, and lets not forget it. BJ would be deluded if he was to rely solely
on the responses of this post to gauge how well LD is going to work. There
are far better ways of collected data on this. If I was cynical (I'm not
today), I could argue that his posts are nothing more than marketing at
minimal cost.

You've misunderstood me. I meant his posts may just be marketing for LD.

I wouldn't be suprised if marketing wasn't a strong reason for setting up LD -
it stops a large vocal group complaining about the company they love, it
increases the level of service to the average customer (the standard toy
company doesn't go to these lengths to satisfy its customers). Above all
though, think of the amazing scupltures and creations are going to result
because of the ability to get the bits you need in the numbers you require!!

But isn't cheap - setting up a new division, altering production runs,
reorganising internal infrastructure.. to name just a few costs.
