Oh yes, I have also seen that. Maybe the other stores take it for what it
is, a compliment. AFIK Lego has been uptight about its logo and its use here
on Lugnet, and it is my thinking that this was a chance for Todd and Suz to
bite Lego back for something. All I DO know is that if it would have
happened on my site I would have been nothing but honered and happy, I also
would have promotied it as much as a I possibly could! I was happy for
Lugnet when I saw that coupon code, it just showed me that Lego was making a
special effort to help us out.
