Well, then I wonder who this person is at S@H, AKA Lego Direct, that doesn't
know this.

I think it was simply miscommunication on the part of the sales rep.  I mean
we all take what s@h phone operators say with a grain of salt at best.  To
think that some European operator would know what's going on in America is a
bit of a reach.

   As I tried to make clear, it was hearsay--one source, placed
   purely on the European side, albeit not merely "some European
   operator," because he had an inordinate interest in the mechanics
   of proxy buying and factoring, what we do, the secondary market
   markup, inventory control, and various other issues related to
   the business end that I just can't see some phone drone caring
   about, can you?

   Perhaps his own information was incorrect, but he conveyed a
   great sense of certainty about it, i.e., that he wasn't lying
   to me.

Though I must say that other parts of what he said has a ring of truth to
it. . .

   I quite believe he was conveying his best information, truthfully.
   Now whether or not that information *is actually true* is another
   matter altogether.  Take it with a grain of salt, but you might
   be surprised at how much the S@H divisions know about one another.
   I've had a few interesting conversations with Enfield staff on
   that score--but again, truth is only determined from inside the
   Castle. :)

(...) If there. I think sometimes I (1) am guilty of thinking that TLC is somehow different from other big corporations, and different groups know more than the average about what other groups are doing.
