Which is why I've backed off and stopped the pitbull stance I was using this

I've got no problems with this, I'd just like the veil of secrecy lifted. This
isn't a Lego product unveiling afterall. Just realize that the way things were
presented to those of us not fortunate enough to be at Brickfest is what caused
the uproar in the first place. I doubt there would have been any less outrage if
the tables were turned and the next east coast even were located in Miami on the
same date BF is traditionally set on.

'talk to us', we'll listen.
