Although the "elite have's" are more than likely the ones, even among
AFOLs, who will be their best customers.
I don't know what Lego Direct will end up being, if anything at all.
I'm _personally_ offended at the nonchalant way ol Brad jumps in every
few months and throws vague promises and requests for patience around,
then disappears again. I'd rather he either be here or not, and if
he's too important to spend his time here (probably is, given his
position) then he should delegate that task to someone else who can
take the time to post once or twice a week, answer a few questions,
etc.
But I doubt Lego Direct will even remotely resemble this wonderful
future you imagine where producers and consumers meet in some
wonderful lovefest devoid of all middlemen. I'll happily chomp on
some crow if I'm able to order one or two of whatever piece I want,
but it ain't gonna happen.

Troy's a good guy, although given your remarks about people who buy
then resell, even if they're breaking up sets, I'm surprised you'd
suggest him, since he does as much or more of that than anyone except
maybe Todd.

| (...) Given a bunch of asses and this nice fellow, why not pick him? At least its exclusively what he does. Its not about buying the sets for resell for me. Its about TLC giving everyone an even chance, that's all. Why is that so ridiculous a thing (...) (25 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)
