A couple of days ago, my son and I were at the store, and we noticed the
"Soccer Bus with a Soccer Ball" (Team Transport, #3411) were all gone[1],
and the shelves were now stocked with the Americas Bus set #3406.
This afternoon, I was talking about this and the bus variations with
Kristin. She asked if LEGO sold an accessory pak with just the team
stickers. I agreed this would be a keen idea.
So you imagine it was a pleasant surprise when I surfed to
www.lego.com/soccer and discovered that the sheets were available as
downloadable images.[2] Good idea!
But then I realized the download page,
http://www.lego.com/soccer/download.asp is broken. There are 7 images that
are supposed to be links to the full image pages. Of these, only the first
is actually a link. The other six are only images.
And when I click the one existing link, I get a javascript error instead of
transferring to the right page.
This is not good. It's frustrating for people visiting the page, and it's
bad PR for LEGO.
:(
The good news (for me) is that I can do a "View | Source" to see what the
target of the one link is supposed to be, and from that I can figure out the
URLs for the other 6 images. But according to LUGNET rules, since LEGO
hasn't published those URLs on lego.com, they aren't for public consumption.
So I can't post the URLs here so other people can access the images as well.

1) The fact that the 3411 were gone is not surprising: the day before, we
had bought the last two on clearance.
