Sounds like S@H is going to be migrating into this new structure, yes ?

The brick & most everything else that goes with it.

o Missing that 'last copy' of a classic set that the store had on the
shelf last week.
o Walking into a store and seeing large quantities of merchandise that
did not sell (for whatever reason).
o Not being able to help move said merchandise to eager buyers
elsewhere, just watching more dust settle on the boxes :(

o Fill in the gaps in the Pause set database. Give Todd (or someone) a
'complete' list of sets & numbers.
o By telling us how we can also help you. This could be (and probably
should be) a symbiotic relationship. TLC has the designers, the
equipment, the molds, the transport system, etc. How can we fit into
this puzzle to take our dreams, aspirations and ideas to fulfillment
while making Lego Direct 'the strongest brand in the world amongst
families by the year 2005' ?
o oh yes, more pine trees :)
o and shooting cannons :) :)

What a GREAT idea Ray. Also, I think it would be safe to say that we'd be ok
if there were links from current sets to the Lego web site to buy them. Kinda
like some of the sets that say\said "You may be able to purchase this set
online at eToys". Not only the Pause database though, but the brickshelf one
as well.

Ooh, ooh, and the LDRAW database. I would like to see Lego's naming convention
of parts (meaning the stuff they use) published for the Ldraw community.

Along the same lines: make your parts available in LDraw format, or
some other format that you already use and publish the details so
we can convert them to LDraw format!
Welcome! I'm a recently revived AFOL (I gave up when set complexity
went drastically down (others here call it juniorization) and the
interesting sets (Technic) were all cars, which generate a big yawn
from me) I revived for MindStorms and the pneumatic submarine sets.
What do I love?
Lego Technic, Mindstorms, Pitsco-Dacta educational sets...
What do I hate?
Juniorization, limited use pieces. I'd *love* to see some
explanation in instructions after a subsystem has been constructed
regarding how the subsystem works, why it was built the way it was,
and some of the design "cliche's" that can be seen in the construction
of the subsystem. Help bring KABOB's into adulthood as AFOLs!

With ALL the part numbers! if such a list came out it would be the ultimate
reference for afols.
