Latest I heard, I think from a model designer there, they recently went
through the process of getting rid of a lot of old models they were never
going to re-use.  I don't remember details, but for some reason this sticks
in my mind.

This is crazy.  With all the AFOLs around, not to mention parents with
money, why isn't TLC auctioning off these sculptures?  They could donate the
proceeds (or part of the proceeds) to a children's charity of some sort.
From a PR stand point they would be getting far more bang for their buck
then just using the sculpture bricks for bulk orders....

Just my 2 cents

Hi Gabe,
That could certainly be the case. I think I am correct in stating that we
came to our own conclusions regarding the bricks used for sculptures turning
up at LLC as bulk bricks. TLC could very well be doing as you mentioned.

Thanks
Jonathan
