This sounds good to me. I think that way everyone will have something that
fits.
I don't have a number for that particular dept, but I do have a customer
relations number. I am sure we could get through to someone through them.
I got to them through lego direct at their 1800 line.
I will make some calls this week and find out more about this. We need a
local rep number or something.
Thanks
Rich
