I don't think it's ranting, although it is bitter. It results from years of
being treated like a second-rate market. Some may argue that we ARE a second
rate market, but TLC certainly isn't giving us a chance to prove otherwise.
Of course you're glad they picked you to launch this wizz-bang endeavour, who
wouldn't be. But don't begrudge us our right to be a bit peeved about being
left of the invite list... again. This isn't just a once-off, it happens with
regular monotony.
I've said it before, but I'm a bit tired of the note on lego.com's catalogue
page saying "for now it is not possible to order on-line from this catalogue"
or words to that effect. Either they can't be bothered setting it up, or they
are spending their time coming up with something so increadibly awesome that
it'll blow us right off our keyboards. I'm hoping for the latter, but I won't
hold my breath. I'm already blue in the face, any more would just be down-
right unattractive ;-) Brad has hinted of on-line ordering later this year...
we'll see.
The only way we can be heard is to post in these groups, and unfortunately,
depending on how one reads it, it can come across as whining or ranting, but
what else can we do? Ringing or writing to LEGO Australia does nothing because
they just flick-pass the blame to TLC in Denmark. This is really the only
other outlet for us.
