Of course, it's entirely possible that someone on LUGNET and/or R.T.L
actually DOES work for TLG and isn't just lurking, but is starting
discussions, participating in them, and reporting back to marketing and
product development, and just isn't telling the rest of us who they work
for. Can you imagine how useful some of the discussions we've had would
be to TLG? All the favorite piece, favorite set, favorite genre stuff,
would be incredibly useful for them to figure out what to make more of,
which pieces to only include in the big expensive sets (all our
favorites, of course), etc. And how about asking a question like, "Hey,
wouldn't Star Wars LEGO be a cool thing?" (or some other genre). Maybe
we're just one big focus group. Hey, maybe Todd & Suzanne work for
TLG.
