While on the hole I agree with you. I wonder what you have to back up your
statement that "the kind of things we want sell much better that the things
their marketing dept. want's to sell"? Was something said at Brickfest that
gave you this impression?
I am not trying to be difficult, I just want to know if something "offical" was
said to this effect. If it was what context was it in? For example if it is
only from a S@H perspective where you have LD stuff that is only available at
S@H competing with retail set sales at S@H then I think thats a false statement
because so much more stuff sells at retail outlets. However if it was said
that the Sopwith Camel has been the #1 selling set this year regardless of
outlet then I would agree 100% with this statement.
Thanks,
Eric Kingsley
