Keep up the good work, and please let us know if we can help!

The letter that Ben presented is trying to send a real message.  This one is
just an amazing suck up!!

Did you apply to be a "Lego Ambassador"?

I have to go throw up now.

I have to agree with Bob here...
Y'know, sometimes the consumers know better than the management William!
That, and your whole brown-nosing here smells like @$$

I'm not brown-nosing.  I'm just disgusted with the way some so-called Adult fans
of LEGO act like three-year-olds when the company makes a change they don't
agree with.

And your actions, kissing their hindquarters vociferously, will somehow tell them
when they might have done something that has upset their paying customers?

ENOUGH of the puckering up, Bill.


Yeah, they're a company that needs to focus on its core business - selling toys
to kids.  Messing around with AFOL's is a waste of their time.  No way are
AFOL's going to have any measurable effect on the bottom line, grey or no grey.

5% is 5%.  If you as a CEO piss off 5% of your income, you probably aren't going to
remain CEO long.
Take some business courses, Bill.  You need to get a clue.
