I think the idea is that it is a monthly fee, not yearly; hence, if you wished
to get a discount on something, or just wanted to be part of a contest than ran
for a month or two, you'd have to pay the $5.00 fee for that month.
Also, if it is yearly, $60 may or may not be too much for you. (that's why
being a member is apparently optional) You have to guage it accordingly for
yourself. If they offer a 5% discount, it's only worth it if you spend $100 or
more a month on lego; for a 10% discount, only if you spend more than $50 a
month, etc.
I think it would probably make the most business sense to have it as a yearly
fee. But certainly for end users, making it monthly can be quite a deal
(depending on your spending habits of course). Perhaps an idea on that is that
it could cost $50 (or less) per year, or $5 monthly, kind of like a
subscription to a magazine, $10 off the 'cover price'.
Overall, it sounds like a great idea!
Good luck with it!

| (...) Guess it depends on what kind of Lego sets you buy. If you're silly enough to pay full retail for things, maybe a 5 or 10% discount would seem like a good deal. Me, I couldn't imagine paying for the privelege of spending 40% more for something (...) (25 years ago, 20-Aug-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)
