WE HAVE ALL BEEN SHAFTED!!!!!!!!!!!!
How gullible are we all--I guess very much so. After all, the email address
looked official enough. And we all want our greatest wishes to come true.
But I think we all got burned!!!!
I personally did not post a response to the introduction on RTL or Lugnet
because my level of cynicism and skepticism held me back. Perhaps these
were good instincts.
Lego has never cared about us before, why should they now--regardless of how
strong a brand they want to have in the next few years. TLC has never had
an accessible email address--now all of a sudden they open themselves up to
accept email rants by the thousands!! Highly unlikely.
The introduction told us that Lego Direct is not quite ready to handle our
deluge of requests. This sounded fishy--any corporate move that occurs
without being totally prepared can bring unexpected problems and disaster.
I don't think that TLC would operate this way.
To the individual(s) that cooked up this hoax:
MAY YOU BURN IN HE__ !!!!!!!!

| Let me stop this right now. Whoever posted claiming that LEGO Direct is a scam was not me; and the sentiment expressed in the post could not be more wrong. LEGO Direct is a very real undertaking of The LEGO Company and we are very committed to it -- (...) (25 years ago, 12-Dec-99, to lugnet.dear-lego) !

| In response to myself: I WAS WRONG. LEGODIRECT AND BRAD JUSTUS (The legitimate one) DO EXIST. Just wanted to help clear this up. The hoax is the retraction posted to RTL, not the posts to Lugnet from Brad Justus. Note: I will not be deleting my (...) (25 years ago, 12-Dec-99, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general)

| (...) Lego DOES have an email address. I have it and have sent them email. They just don't give it out because they don't want to be flooded with email from people who want to buy 2 purple 2x2 tiles or something else. (...) I don't think you really (...)
