  Re: Lego Direct Q&A about to start at BrickFest
 
(...) Too late, sorry. I can interpret from what he said, though. I think they are extremely pleased with the response so far, it appears to me (Larry) that it exceeds their anticipated numbers based on things that Brad said about phones ringing off (...)

  Re: Lego Direct Q&A about to start at BrickFest
 
Can Brad comment on how much interest they ANTICIPATED for the Gaurded Inn, and how much interest there really was? i.e. What numbers did they hope to sell, and how much did they really sell? Eric (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jul-01, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

  Re: Lego Direct Q&A about to start at BrickFest
 
(...) B: yes, it could be considered, if structured properly. (we are unfortunately now out of time...) Oh, one other thing from Brad. Australia, you don't get the Metroliner! Just kidding. (23 years ago, 14-Jul-01, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

  August Surprise...
 
Posted too fast... AND club car!!! orders accepted in late august, ship in sept. Probably close to or at original retail, also a combo of both sets for slightly less. 10001 is Metroliner... 10002 is Club car. There are some minor details changed. (...)

  August Surprise...
 
While we waited... more foilage IS on the list for production, LD is aware "do you look at what people buy on eBay? (asked as a followup)" Yes. It's not a totally accurate factor... does 1 person buying 6 cypress for 110 mean that there is a huge (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jul-01, to lugnet.events.brickfest) !!

While I was waiting to get picked, Shiri asked "israel/LD"... probably not soon. Troy Cefaratti: "whence Mono"? ... motors are lost as are other molds. Steve R: "east coast LL"... not sure yet.

  Re: Lego Direct Q&A about to start at BrickFest
 
(...) Thanx, Larry! Bobbled or no this is great info. That 25% number, which would include AFOLs, is certainly noteworthy. I guess that's how we manage to net LEGO Direct employees at events like this in the first place. Thanx again, enjoy the (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jul-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.events.brickfest)
 
  Re: Lego Direct Q&A about to start at BrickFest
 
(...) These were sort of asked already. Brad readdressed: Target is non AFOL but they are very aware of us as customers and want to do things where it makes sense. Kids are the primary market though.

  Re: Brickfest news flash
 
(...) (read that exactly as quoted) Paraphrasing Brad's response: Oz definitely. NZ strongly intended by 4Q. Japan not in plan for 4Q due to Double Byte char set issues, other tech problems. Norway and Switzerland and France are also coming soon. (23 years ago, 14-Jul-01, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.loc.au)

(...) If there's time left after Santosh's question(s), I'm curious to hear Brad's comments on: 1) What is LEGO Direct's target consumer group (ie, AFOL vs non)? 2) Which group is actually the largest part of their customer base?
