Hmm, I wonder if Moscow gets a LEGO brand retail store because a

Frank, I'm living in 30 minutes of driving from this Moscow store.
And I think that you seem to be right - these days I see a lot of
activity from TLC in Russia - various campaigns with other brands, TV
advertising etc., there was nothing like this two years ago. In
Russia, LEGO brand still have very small presence (try to find
another AFOL in Russia but me, for example :) ) and large potential.

WBR,

Alexander -
I encourage you to use your local store as a way to network with other
AFOLs. Introduce yourself to the store manager, and ask if they
wouldn't mind putting you in touch with other local AFOLs who come and
buy.

I imagine you aren't the only AFOL who buys there, the issue really is
finding a way for you to connect with them.

Hi, i'm new here.  I'm canadian, from québec city.
I understand that AFOL seems to mean a fan of lego,
but what's the exact meaning of the letters?

Thanks.

(...) It's good to hear of another new AFOL. :-) It stands for Adult Fan Of LEGO. Play well. Tim Strutt (21 years ago, 6-Apr-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.ca)
