Richard, I'm certainly not an economist, so my feelings are just a mildly educated opinion, but I don't think you will ever see any major company have a distribution channel like you want. It won't work. If it was such a good idea, retail outlets (...) (25 years ago, 27-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego) !

From what various people have said, I think that the people who were called were the people they happened to have phone numbers handy, who happened to be near the phone when they called. I haven't ordered that much from them (just 10 6038s out of (...) (25 years ago, 27-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego) !

(...) Then they should catch a clue -- or is Brad Justus just a troll here? Is he just a plant to stem the tide of our venom as I already half suspect? I'm sorry, but I think it is very much TLC's job to pay attention to what we fans want, and not (...) (25 years ago, 27-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego) !

Richard: I am sorry, but you just don't get it. #1 - These are not "Rare, expensive sets" in Lego's eyes. These are sets that nobody wants to buy. That is why they are old. It is not TLC's job to watch ebay and Lugnet to find out how to "most (...) (25 years ago, 27-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego) !

I don't begrudge anyone finding a good deal. But it would bother me to think that some few of us are favored by TLC because of their purchasing power. This is why I have and will continue to favor a Lego Direct arrangement in which TLC, or perhaps a (...) (25 years ago, 26-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego) !!

(...) I really do see what you're saying I guess it just doesn't ring through for me. I'm very much a non-shopping person. I know the KBToyWorks is in some sort of thing you would probably call an outlet mall. I've been there several times. I have (...) (25 years ago, 26-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego) !

(...) I would agree if the Lego Outlet store was out in the middle of a field somewhere. On some level though I think that they are not playing well with their community. It's great for the people that get called. It's great for Lego. It's aweful (...) (25 years ago, 26-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Hrmmmm - I'm a little miffed I didn't get a call (I could have used some 6078's) but I don't agree with this. Just think about it. They know the stuff is coming in. They call two people who agree to buy all of some items. Those items come in (...) (25 years ago, 26-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego) !
