Huw,
I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that your correspondent
(name?) neglected their responsibility to inform you that the information
passed
along to you was meant only for retailers and then only for ordering purposes.
The retailer catalog is traditionally a closely guarded item, never meant for
public (including competitor) consumption.
As a truly good intentioned LEGO enthusiast, I am asking you to remove these
illegal scans from internet publication and also ask Todd to delete your
previous post. This is in response to my desire to keep the delicate
relationship between adult online enthusiasts and the LEGO Company intact. It
also is protective of smaller retailers and of the LEGO Company itself. I could
go into a discussion of why what you have done is against the interest of the
company, but I'll save it -- assuming you agree with the above.
Please excuse my curt reaction, but I am quite stunned and alarmed.
