That's not the point. I _really_ dislike TLG for bringing out sets (or whole
themes) in some part of the world and then forget about the rest of the
countries. I mean, for a global operating business, TLG is really missing
sales.

The movie won't come out untill september in the Netherlands. I'll have to
wait for the Ep1 Lego also untill september. :-((( But, thanks to Lugnet, I
already have some of the Ep1 sets.

I think I know what movie you are talking about. I can't remember the title,
but it was indeed a 'deep' movie with lots of good acting. No action, but
great dialogues and character-development. Kinda like all the good dutch
movies.
