Yep.  I think its obvious LEGO Direct is doing well as it is.  If they

gotten the funding to go out on a limb and design a totally new product

that?  LD has their act together, IMO.

For the record, I feel that LD makes brilliant marketing moves. And with
the Super Chief, they are carving out a whole new market. It's
impressive to watch.

I think what upsets me and offends me much more than these auctions is
seeing members of this community slam LEGO for this.  If I were the one
who
posted this announcement after working hard on the program, I'd be a
bit put
off.  I have no idea how Jake or others at LEGO Direct feel about it,
but
I'm speaking from my own perspective.  I hope they let it roll off and
focus
on what they do best.

I too hope LD employees don't take consumer comments personally.

But I see publicly slamming LEGO here as counterproductive and terribly
embarrassing for this community.

I don't see 'public slamming' going on here so much as I see honest
consumer reaction, which is largely what this newsgroup is for.
