This is making me sick. Lego went out of their way to give us a little
smile when we opened up our mania magazine and we show our respect by doing
nothing but criticizing them for the past 24 hours! They put that logo in the
mag because they thought we would like it, not to disrespect Todd, or LUGNET.
They did not put in a URL etc. because they did not want to put a LUGNET
advertisement, that is why they put it a small computer less than and inch
big. They put it there as a private message for us. I doubt a typical 8
year old will look at that small logo and say "what is that" they will look at
the King Leos castle next to it.
Yes I agree that there should have been a URL or TM but the legal crowd
here needs to take a back seat and appreciate all the progress we have made in
our relationship with the company that creates the toys that we all love.
