So you think it is okay to demand the moon and the stars from TLC without even
considering what they would have to go through to give it to you? I'm sorry,
but that is highly faulty logic.

True, we don't have all the facts. However, we can do research and make
educated guesses as to some of the costs involved, and even with basic numbers,
it becomes obvious as to the feasibility. I see little point in annoying Lego
Direct with broken-record-like demands that have little to know chance of ever
seeing the light of day. All it does is turn them off to us.
And yes, I would like to have 1x1 windows. As I said earlier, I would also
like to go to Saturn. Neither are likely to happen anytime in the near future,
if ever, so why bother asking?

Yes, the final decision is up to TLC. I don't see why we can't do some
preliminary work on our own first to decide whether it is even worth it to
*ask*, though.
