Hi all! Sorry for having canceled my original message, here it is again.... 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...)
