From what I saw, the commercials didn't amount to
much. (my younger sister thought they were rather
lame. Well of course, aren't commercials supposed
to be lame? They all are these days! :) And she's
within the target audience, and does build with
lego.)
More syndication: Just the other day, I saw a spot
on Cartoon Network's 'Toonami' advertising to 'win
the new NBA sets'. (well, they were second place
prizes, anyway. (If anyone might recall, there also
had a bionicle contest earlier to win the golden
mask. Hmm...)

Definitely! I think lugnet.sport
(lugnet.build.sport(s) ?
merits its own respective newsgroup. (I
believe there was some discussion of this
at .admin), and as far as I can see,
without one of these groups, postings
pertaining to this genre will be sporadic
at .general. (which isn't really on topic
there. And it doesn't fit at off topic
either because that rarely has anything
to do with lego. Well, .ot debate anyway :)

The theme went -under- (no pun intended).
Well, here's my opinion.
Lugnet.build.alphateam or something fitting
to .espionage. Since Lugnet has so many
newsgroups, these could be posted to .build
.military, since the sets deal with such
matters. (bomb squads, helicopters, tactical,
etc.)
Hope that helps.
