Perhaps they'd prefer all their competitors and cloners not see them yet. Or
maybe their agreement with Universal prohibits it. Or maybe they'd rather save
it to be news at Toy Fair. Or maybe there's still something about the models
that they don't choose to commit to yet.

I don't think TLC's level of urgency in giving "sneek-peeks" to fans is what you
should call "their problem." I have no trouble waiting and respecting their
wishes.

Hey Suz,

probably you are correct and I was really a little too fast when writing
that posting. TLC can well decide when to release what kind of information.
It's just that we still haven't seen any single "dpi" of Harry Potter yet as
most of the other stuff that'll appear later in 2001 (although we are
speculating already). I think everyone would be way more than happy to see a
minfigure from the upcoming Harry Potter theme now already, or maybe a
picture of one of the smaller sets, just a shot on a prototype. Anything!
Why can't they just improve their way of releasing new set info. I really
wonder why AFOLs still have to learn about new sets via inset-catalogues or
(illegal?) retailer images. And of course - once new images are out - these
dissapear a few days later as if they were never released.

It's difficult to keep up with that and I'm sure that I am not the only
person who is annoyed for that matter!

FUT lugnet.people (hope that's correct for such discussions).
