One way of looking at it is thus, we here on Lugnet tend to hardcore,
rabid fans that once we see an announcement HERE, tend to go there
soon after (for the pictures man! :^) At the very least I know that
I tend to go there to confirm that it's 'real' and for all the details
and of course the pictures.
Basically relatively few of the masses that go to Lego.com know about
Lugnet, *BUT* everyone that goes to Lugnet knows about Lego.com.
So an announcement here drives the rabid fans there and the fans there
don't know it was maybe mentioned here first, Lego wins with both
groups.
