Brad,
  I'm really glad to see this second post about Lego Direct.  To keep the
rumors down, could you do at least a monthly posting to keep us abreast of
progress?

Regarding direct sales you said:

3) And speaking of bulk ordering, a couple of important things: first, don’t
worry – we’re going to do this! Though the targeted launch of the service is
late Summer, we’ll start discussing details within a few weeks; in fact, we’re
going to need your input to help us finalize the appropriate initial
offerings. So hang in there. Second, until more details are forthcoming,
please don’t deluge Consumer Affairs or S@H with questions. You’ll get what
you want to know right here in these newsgroups.

The part about finalizing initial offerings is very intriguing.  Could it be
something where we (LUGNET readership or some such fan based entity) give you
the top 200 (picking some number out of the air) pieces we want to buy in
bulk?  That would be tremendous.

Is re-releasing some of the older sets something TLC is interested in?  (Again
I'll put in a shameless plug for the Metroliner!!)  Obviously, which sets
would have to be chosen carefully.

Thanks and Happy Holidays,

Steve Martin

Well. Wow. What can I say? It certainly appears as if we have opened Pandora’s Bucket… First, allow me to thank you all for your overwhelmingly warm welcome. I can assure you, it is as thrilling to us to be able to make the announcement of LEGO (...) (25 years ago, 22-Dec-99, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.announce) !
