Todd,
Let's face it, if TLC were THAT worried about the pics in the retailer
catalog getting out there, they wouldn't release it so early.

Oh, gee, yeah, that certainly justifies it.  :-/

First, the retailer catalog was never "released" (to consumers).  Retailer
catalogs are sent to *retailers* for *retailers* to use for their businesses.

Second, to the best of my knowledge, this year's retailer catalog hasn't even
been sent to retailers in the U.S. yet.  I don't know how or where Huw's
so-called "correspondent" got a copy.

Third, I said it before but I'll say it again:  LEGO employees at the Mall
of America LEGO Imagination Center had said that they could *lose their
jobs* for showing a retailer catalog to consumers before the products were
out on shelves.

Let's be a little responsible as a community for once, for crying out loud.
Are Suzanne and I the only ones who feel this way?

No.  But I suspect you're the only ones that feel this strongly.

I've stated (somewhere) that I honestly don't think it (the scans being out
there) makes a difference, BUT that doesn't make it right.

Bottom line: Those retailer catalogues are the intellectual property of Lego.
If we don't respect them, why the heck should they respect us?
