I'm surprised you guys haven't thrown up a splash page or something, at

I'm not.  Until they have explicit permission from TLC to register a
domain name containing their trademarked brand name, it would be a
blatant violation of trademark rights to do so. Not a good way to start
off this proposed relationship with TLC, wouldn't you think?

It wouldn't be a "blatant violation" at all. But it would go against
Lego's wishes, and you're right, no sense in getting off to the wrong
start. But as it is now, there's a very _blatant_ for-profit advertisment
at the URL -- that seems worse.
