I would recommend against such a thing. sounds unprofessional. TLG
may only find such request for contact annoying and see it as coming
from a niave view. It also may just support their vision of
fanatical young men who live for toys and sci-fi. (no offense)
In my opinion:
- you would find it near impossible to "arrange a slightly-formal meeting"
- a vastly clearer job title than "actual representative" would be needed.
- TLG would not likely see the adult fan base "immensely huge," no
matter how
accurate your numbers may be
- they know you exist
- they know you love LEGO
- there is little I can imagine them trusting fanatics to do for them.
sorry. I'd suggest we just enjoy building.
-Suz.
my opinions are my own and have no sources from MIT or TLG.

| (...) Yeah, I'm tempted to agree. If we want to set up a meeting, we should have a specific purpose to the meeting other than just to say "hey, we're here!" Perhaps if we want to set up a grandiose-type event and want their input, we could get a (...)
