Wow! That’s just simply incredible--the characterizations of faces are
beautiful--I hope Kellogs was very impressed!

Thanks. I think everyone at Kellogg’s Cereal City USA™ (KCCUSA) is quite pleased
with how things turned out. I know we are. We didn’t hear directly from
Kellogg Company®(1) corporate.

I heard you had orange--we just got some in at our PaB..I only wished it was
sooner--I could have sent some your way.

I was in Orlando in April and MTW did then look into getting elements for the
project from the Disney Village PaB. (MTW had already sourced much of our needs
by then, but could have used more if it was available). Unfortunately the
pricing (at the K3 at a time level) was not at all competitive with hobbyist
resale pricing...
I find that kind of ironic(2), that buying directly from LEGO costs more than
getting the parts from hobbyists who buy at retail, sort the parts out, mark
them up so they make a reasonable profit, and pay to ship them out again, with
turnaround measured in days rather than weeks or months.
Perhaps the LEGO Affiliate program will help alleviate that situation in future.

Now, I’m curious..did Kellogs purchase Tony, Snap,Crackle,Pop, and the Froot
Loops box? Or, is MichLUG getting it back afterwards?
|
Not sure where MTW would keep them!
| |
(I think with the way these looked, Kellogs was impressed and bought them!)
|
Specific contract terms between MTW and KCCUSA are not public, but as Chris
disclosed, KCCUSA owns the statues now. The display items, featured
here, are on
loan for the season.
1 - Note that the Kellogg Company is a separate entity from Kellogg’s Cereal
City USA. The trademarking, pluralisation and possessive notation of these and
other trademarked names throws me for a loop all the time... Kellogg Company®,
Kellogg’s Cereal City USA™, Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes®, Snap!, Crackle! and
Pop!®, etc. etc.
2 - but understandable... small one person operations can be nimbler and can do
things for lower margins.
