I for one, and most of the other members of LUGNET, do appreciate it. I
think all of us are passionate about your product, and we wish your company
to do as well as it can.

As a worker for a rather large engineering firm, I can completely understand
this.

From a marketiung standpoint, I can understand this, but most of us here
would like to see a better, more expensive town, train, space sets, etc.
that do have larger piece counts that are targeted at older folks. The UCS
sets from Star Wars series are a good example.

Very understandable.

Again, we appreciate any response the fine folks at TLC do put here, and we
are hoping to have better communication to you. If you really need some
people who have a good understanding of our plight as AFOL's, Todd Lehman,
Larry P., among others, can help. The train groups are a great resource, and
I think TLC can help them more, and become a viable marketing strategy. from
their layouts, TLC does get a lot of positive comments and the like. There
has been a lot of discussion on what you should do, but the last few weeks
have been nice, especially the train windows and doors, the other parts in
the bulk service, and some of the new sets coming out.
Anyway, I don't want to rattle on forever, we appreciate Brad's and your
interest in LUGNET, we love to see posts from you, and I hope TLC continues
to do well.
Sincerely,
Scott S.
