Yes, I see what you mean. I think it's somewhat irrelevant, but I
see what you mean. I think one person posting several crappy scans
of soon-to-be released sets (and not all this supposed TOP SECRET
marketing material that has been alluded to) will barely register on
their screens.

You're probably right. Buying hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of their products, offering to fund specific part runs at high
dollar, offering to save them money on shipping and labor by buying
hundreds of copies of service packs and asking only a small
discount, etc are probably the best ways to earn their respect.
Oh wait, we already DO that, and what exactly has it gotten us?
I know you have a hopeful, positive outlook on the Lego company. I
don't. When I think of the Lego company I think of the jackass
Larry talked to at the MOA - the loser who obviously didn't care
about their products, their image, or their customers.
