Hello all, Well, you asked for us to provide you with Status Reports, so here goes: The LEGO Ambassador Program is currently in the process of moving to a new Server. While this does not affect fans in any way, it certainly affects us and the (...) (17 years ago, 11-Jul-07, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX) !

(...) That is me. I can tell you why I applied for the program and why I decided to quit after 2 cycles: I applied because I had one good reason. I wanted to let TLC know how unfair some European AFOLs feel about not having the option to use (...) (17 years ago, 21-May-07, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)

LEGOFan lives! Despite a prolonged illness of the server crash variety, the patient is stable. It's not wearing much at the moment, just a hospital gown that shows off its bare butt... but the heart is pumping, air is flowing, and I can't stretch (...)

(...) As I think we all have noticed on the retail shelves, TLC has its competitors, who make similar but cheaper products. One presumes TLC are not keen to do anything to give their competitors a heads-up on their plans. And "pre-announced by (...) (18 years ago, 16-Mar-07, to lugnet.ambassadors)

(...) It’s an extremely low overhead research and development team of AFOLs that TLC can go to with ideas, get ideas from and test products and or get opinions on. it also provides a small group of people to go between TLC and the community at large (...)

What do you think the LEGO Ambassador program is about? I think it's about getting fan input from the LEGO community to appropriate places within the LEGO Group. Specifically, I think it's a "pull" process where TLG requests info from Ambassadors (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)

(...) Nelson-- 1. I presume that the Ambassador program is designed to act as a sort of bridge between TLG and the AFOL base...and to aid in the inspiration for building stuff. At least, that's what it says on the LEGO website. (See? Some of us read (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)

(...) As has been stated, I think it's a way of giving pre-emptive fan feedback to Lego. Rather than getting feedback *after* a set is released, fans can have a small input factor a bit earlier on. I think it's also about marketing to AFOLs. People (...) (18 years ago, 14-Mar-07, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)

(...) I agree with this. Just an update now and then, like meeting minutes or something would be nice. I'd like to know what issues (good and bad) are being presented to TLG by the Ambassadors. With that said, I'd like TLG to know that I really (...) (18 years ago, 14-Mar-07, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)

(...) Personally, I think it is about TLG making more money and trying to quiet the masses (the few outspoken actually) of AFOLs who dislike change. (...) Based on hours and hours (hahaha) of detailed research of several AFOLs Jlug posts, I have (...) (18 years ago, 14-Mar-07, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)

I really think that the LA program needs to provide more feed back to the community, nothing to break the NDA but there should be some kind of communication to let the community know that the LA team is still working hard. I know sometimes (...) (18 years ago, 14-Mar-07, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)

I agree with how the program was all ready described above... The main addition I would like to make would be to have a specific ambassador dedicated to all the small lego regions collectively. It is true certain ambassadors frequent certain sites (...) (18 years ago, 14-Mar-07, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)
