I'm just a little confused, I guess.
A list of (possible) upcoming set names, set numbers, and prices was posted.
TLC asked you to remove them. Are you really saying that if I went over to
lugnet.space and said "well, I wonder what set number XXXX 'Blah blah blah' is
going to be like? It's a set that costs around $Y, so it should have around Z
pieces..." that they wouldn't be equally annoyed, and want that post removed
just as much?
Certainly this doesn't stop us from discussing things like the upcoming Star
Wars sets- after all, guessing which models were next has always been a staple
of lugnet.starwars, and now was can all just wink and nod at each other, but
discussing things like what might be included in some of the Movie Maker
expansions will be difficult to justify.
Oooh, dear. I just realised that the list was the first mention of these
expansion packs, so I honestly don't know if this post now violates what TLC
would and wouldn't like to see posted. I'll post it, though, mostly because
I'm too lazy to think of a non-specific example.
