Sorry, no, I can't. When I access it now, it tells me that I have to
accept a cookie, which I refuse to do. I guess I won't be visiting
the Lego site anymore, until they fix this bug.
Some of the folks having trouble getting the new stuff may be hitting
problems where the pages are being cached by a caching proxie or a
caching server that is part of their ISP or some intermediate network.
Such things are supposed to work properly, but if the source site is
unreachable, I expect the caching server would deliver the old data
rather than giving a failure to the request.
