Do I have to connect all the lines for you to see the picture?

The point of mentioning the Imperial Flagship S@H offer this week is to point
out that S@H can and does handle warehouse finds/overstock items RIGHT NOW!!!
Why TLC needs outlet stores at all is a mystery to me.  This is a bricks and
mortar v internet retail argument.  The internet option has the additional
benefit of potentially making more than just a few people happy -- more than
just Georgians, Virginians, or U.S. customers.

I gather we will see some of these things happen with Lego Direct.  Maybe.
But there is no need to wait.  They can and should implement a S@H/internet
model right now for U.S. Customers and just get rid of these outlet stores.

That's my opinion.  You can disagree if you want.

With all of the resistance I see being heaped on my teeny, tiny idea you'd
think I had asked for the immediate execution of Todd Lehman (our happy host!)
instead of just greater fairness in the manner in which TLC eliminates
overstock.

What's the big deal?
