Sorry, I can't really say on those. But, I guess you could consider
Lugnet and RTL virtual clubs. Todd ought to have data on the former.
Ad for the latter, it's anyones guess as to membership.

Oh dear, prepare to get drowned in responses to this.
Bottom line -- stop ignoring (or virtually ignoring) the adult Lego
market.

If you are asking if we want Lego to endorse our Clubs, in exchange
for us 'doing things their way' then I'd say it depends on the
arrangements. I suspect you may meet much resitance on this, unless
Lego is really willing to start listening to us, and taking us seriously.

Thank you. I believe you are the first from TLG to solicit such
information from us. I certainly appreciate your doing so (even if
you are largely just doing what you were asked to).

We (if I may speak for everyone for a moment) truly hope that Lego is
willing to negotiate on this. Establishing a relationship between
the adult collectors and TLG would be excellent.

You also.

Great story. I'd love to see pics of that plane.
