Christian,
Thanks for posting the reply you got from Lego Direct. I was pleased to see

a) that an AFOL got a pleasant, personal email from Lego Direct
b) a mention about possible new trains from Lego Direct

Even though the train line mention was just that, "a mention" and not a
promise or commitment, it was nice to see in print.

Thanks again,

Bryan Kinkel

Hi all,

most of you know that there are several smaller AFOL communities besides
LUGNET. The forum at www.1000steine.de is one of these communities similar
to Lugnet but a bit smaller and nearly entirely German.

As I was a bit dissapointed about the fact that LEGO Direct seems to look
mostly at Lugnet and ignores the other communities, I dropped LEGO Direct • a
note AND within a few days recieved the following extremely surprising
reply! (Just read on...)

Bye, Christian --- xTI@N.

Gruss Dich!

My name is Jake McKee and I work for LEGO Direct. We wanted to drop a • note
to let you all know that we are certainly aware of the German LEGO AFOL
community! We have been following your growth for some time, and are • pleased
to see your progress!

As we grow, LEGO Direct will be making more of an effort to include the
German community in our ongoing communications. We are working to • improve
our presence in the German LEGO community with the LEGO Club and other
initiatives. This is a very exciting time for us at LEGO Direct with the
release of bulk brick sales, sculptures, custom kits like Mosaic and • more
(maybe even trains!) coming in the future, and welcome the opportunity • to
include all the LEGO communities in these developments.

I can tell you this. At LEGO Direct, we *do* listen to you. We welcome • your
feedback and appreciate your interest!

Feel free to post the message above on www.1000steine.de. If you like we • can
translate it to German.

Thanks!
jake

(...) And even more: it might be a hint about TLC reading "our" www.1000steine.de since 50% of ther German AFOLs seem to be train heads like me and TLC seemed to take note of that fact. :-) Leg Godt! Ben (24 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.loc.de, lugnet.trains)
