I never thought of that! I wonder if we can ask them indirectly through LEGO
Direct?
Question is - if they do mind, what can be done about it? I guess if they
sychronised their releases it wouldn't be an issue :)

Yeah, that is worrying :/ Hopefully it is just a warning.

wouldn't get too frosty a reception. Maybe I'll just pretend to be someone
else, "No sorry, Richard couldn't make it, I'm his good twin." :)
