As discussed in lugnet.trains, this was organized by LD. Everyone in
.trains seems excited about it, but there is something very upsetting
about it to me. My problem with this postcard is that it makes it look
as though Lego has something to do with the train show...like they are
the ones who put the hard work into making a display and setting it up
for everyone to see. The postcard even has the official logo on it...a
sure sign of official endorsement. But what is Lego providing to the
people who organize the show besides catalogs that they can use to sell
more of their product? What's in this for the AFOL and LTCs?
