I see it as light-years away from selling clones.  I get what you're
saying, but, clone manufacturers have to take care not to violate
any of LEGO's patents.  Since we're not manufacturering bricks, that's
not a problem in the least.

There is nothing wrong with selling custom models made of LEGO elements
as long as you don't represent them as being a product of TLC, which
was really what you were saying.  I agree.  It's no more a problem for
LEGO for us to do this than it is for us to auction off old sets or
hold piece auctions.

Ahh, but all the parts *are* official TLC parts (even if you do not say
that). A big issue with bulk sales is that someone does not take
advantage of the *privilege* (of buying bulk) to compete with TLC in the
same venue. I would hate to see a MB package with the sticker "now with
official Lego pcs" <shudder>. See some of my other posts in this thread
about venue.


Hey cool. MB has some reasonably nice set designs, and if they got TLC to
manufacture the parts they have that TLC doesn't that would be even cooler -
they have some nice parts. If their castle was produced using LEGO bricks,
I'd have bought more than one. In my mind, the ONLY thing wrong with MB is
the actual quality of manufacture of the pieces.
