I seem to remember reading somewhere (eToys or LEGO press release) that they
were only allowing eToys to sell as a 1) way to experiment with internet
retailers and to 2) keep just any company (IE possibly with a bad reputation)
from selling LEGO and possibly ripping people off.

I would think that any retail establishment that has physical stores (like
TRU) could sell LEGO product on the internet also (like TRU does). I think the
prohibition may be with companies who only sell on the internet.
