I have to say that I agree with Suz. If that info is intended by TLC to be for
a limited audience, then perhaps spreading it over the 'net isn't the wisest
thing to condone, as AFOL's. I mean, here we are desperately trying to get them
onside with individual/bulk part sales, set design, and so on and on, and then
we (myself included, I looked at it all before I gave it a second thought) turn
around and pull something like this...
I know your intentions were good, and I appreciate the effort involved in
making the pics and so on available, but on second thought I think maybe ya
oopsed.
Now, if TLC doesn't really care one way or the other, great fine wonderful. But
JUST IN CASE it matters to them, I agree with Suz that erring on the side of
caution would be the prudent course of action. With that in mind I implore you
to pull the scans and your post.
