I agree with Larry.
I would probably not bother to join such a club if it did not
offer service packs and bulk parts for adult modelers. This newsgroup
and individual websites are providing a wealth of ideas, information,
original models, and historical information. It is also offering
part sales, but not at attractive prices. The club would have to
go beyond that and add something new... like discounts and bulk parts,
a forum where we can express ideas and TLG can officially respond,
and a method to meet face-to-face rather than only in the form of ascii
text messages.
And we can even do the latter without the help of TLG.
The Internet community is ahead of you and moving faster to service
itself.
TLG has yet to show that it has the corporate aptitude to meet the needs
of this community.
Please prove me wrong.
