Thank you, that is great. The modular buildings have really sparked my
interest. The Eiffel Tower was one of the most interesting things to build and
anyone who comes to my house always marvels at that. The kids love it more that
any other building or model I have out, including the Star Wars big models.
That was surely a great item to present to Lego to do. I hope more are coming.
Hopefully they listen to you all about quality and color problems.
Thanks for helping to get some very good ideas accross to Lego. This does help
me understand how important the ambassador program is.
