here needs to take a back seat and appreciate all the progress we have made in

The "legal crowd"?  How about the thinking crowd?

And exactly what progress has been made in our relationship with the company
that makes the toys we love and has, until very recently, ignored us and
treated us like we didn't matter?

Oh yeah, I forgot, one person from their company has posted what, a total of 4
or 5 messages here, dropped out of site for weeks at a time after making
mostly vague flattering statements about how much they want to work with us
and promises about Lego Direct.  Is that the progress you're talking about?
Pardon me if I'm taking a wait and see attitude towards a company that has had
its head in the sand for the last 10 years.

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!
