We (or I) understand. Being a senior VP probably keeps you busy, and you are
still working on solidifiy LEGO Direct. I think the anticipation is just
killing us. :)

Yay! "Real" town buildings (stores, houses, office buildings, and apartments),
please! And remember, as adults, we are more able to spend money on large LEGO
sets. If the model and part selection is good, I certainly wouldn't mind
spending $200 on an office building or something. :)

Would Rules-of-Conduct be required if a group wished to get this support?

I don't mind, as long as it eventually progresses into having more and more
parts available. Also, don't discontinue Service Packs. They are valuable for
getting items that we only want in low quantities, such as minifig accessories.

Well, keep up the good work and keep us informed! We certainly appreciate all
the effort you seem to be putting into this!
