Is it irrational to believe Brad is being truthful?
"We are very aware of the excitement, interest, and even skepticism which the
messages announcing LEGO Direct have created."
"We've spent most of the last several weeks finishing and presenting the LEGO
Direct business plan, as well as putting key pieces of our organization and

support of our Executive Team."
"And what (I hear you saying) about bulk buying? Well, it's definitely
happening."

"Definitely happening" doesn't get any less vague. This is unprecedented TLC

wallow in your cynicism.
> Lastly, I don't need you minding my "manners".
