Dear Brad,
Indeed you are the bearer of more than just some holiday cheer! Welcome to
Lugnet from one of it's "down under" members. I'm very excited after reading
this post, and look forward to more from you and your organisation in ALL of
the different newsgroups. Nothing better than having the creators of the
product in on the discussion.
I hate to be the stick in the mud amongst all these excited responses, but
living in Australia (I could be cynical and say "not living in the USA") I am
interested in how truely "global" this new service will be. Two of my biggest
gripes are the availability of parts and sets in Australia, and the cost of
the sets. Whilst the advent of the internet has shrunk the world to the size
of your average desktop, the real world is still a large place, and (I speak
for Australian AFOL's only here) we tend to feel very much left out of the
picture when it comes to being recognised as a market.
You have asked some generic questions in your post. Might I suggest an on-line
questionare posted on Lugnet, or available by request, which addresses these
and a few other issues. We are all dying to give you feedback, and I think it
should be in a sensible and easily digestible format. After all, we all want
results from this feedback. Maybe it could be e-mailed to all the people who
have taken out Lugnet membership! <<ducks rotten tomatoes thrown by large
number of non-members>> Hey, steady on!!! Just kidding!!!
You mentioned you've been reading here for a while. If you haven't already
done so, I would suggest reading all the posts in lugnet.dear-lego and
lugnet.people for starters (hey, if you've got the time, read ALL the Lugnet
posts - it's a real hoot!). This will give you a good overview of what we're
on about.
Please forgive my somewhat cynical second paragraph, it's something I've been
on about for many years. I am, along with every other FOL, extremely excited
about this bold new step TLC is taking, and I hope - no, I know! - it will pay
off for all of us!
> Happy Holidays. And Play Well.

You too!
