You will let us know what they said about the letter I'm sure :)
Hope everything works out for the better!
Think about this, I do believe we need someone to keep an eye on this
site on a regular basis to make sure this doesn't happen again. I
wouldn't want to see Lego have to pull the idea because they can't
"police" where the creations are coming from. Though I think there
should have to be some kind of signed "legally" binding agreement that
needs to be signed by a parent for anyone under 18 submitting items to
the vote. The parents will know if the kid really built something 90% of
the time I would think...
Just my thoughts, please let us know what Lego decides to do!
