It's potentially a large audience... I wonder if the community, and the campaign
to save 9V trains wouldn't benefit from gathering a more solid understanding of
some of the numbers involved. For example:
How many people have viewed LEGO train layouts at exhibitions in the last year?
How many people purchase LEGO products as a result of seeing LEGO train club
layouts exhibitions in the last year (or have increased the amount of purchases
etc)?
How does the presence of large LEGO layouts at train exhibitions mesh with
LEGO's marketing and advertising programs?
What would the effect be on LEGO if there wasn't a LEGO train club presence at
exhibitions?
(This may have been covered elsewhere - apologies if it has, but if a link could
be provided that would be cool).
Cheers
