I completely agree with the other posts here. LEGO needs to hire a web
designer, not a magazine designer. Whoever is doing the site seems to be
forgetting that they are designing for an interactive medium that is,

page like you have in print - you have to give the user something that
they can actually use! We're not READERS, we're USERS - see the
distinction? Thanks.

Ahh...I love it when I see people make comments like this.  I need to show this
thread to the higher ups here at my company.

I have been doing web design for the past 6 years.  I love it and I always
stick with the basics.  I can make a site look great without throwing a flash
show or moving text.  If I feel it needs that feature then I will use it but
ONLY if it need the feature to help people navigate through the site.  (i.e.
FLASH...never really needed but looks great if you want a fun site with games
and user interactivity. You should be shot if you put a 500k+ Flash show at
the beginning of your site with no way around it.)
