Obviously, it's great to have the scans back and good to hear that Lego is
giving permission and "generous support".
But, what is not so clear to me is just how generous Lego's support is? Is it
sufficient to cover all of brickshelf's volume charges or is there still a
need to find ways to generate some additional income to cover the costs? Many
people have written previously indicating their willingness to take up a
subscription etc. Do we still need to consider this?
Obviously I don't expect Kevin to reveal the precise details of his
arrangements with Lego, but it would be worthwhile having some indication of
whether we still need to think about additional ways to fund brickshelf.
Also, is there a person in Lego whom we should contact to thank them for their
part in keeping the scan database available, so they realise just how many
people do appreciate their efforts?
