Well John I would want to copy the master peices they have made. I like the
creativity that went into making realalistic designs of trains. I am sure
someone at LEGO had to design the electronics, and mechanics that went into
those trains. I am sure it wasnt bought at the local store. You also said
(Those *aren't* LEGO trains, but rather hybrids that would be scorned in a
*pure* group like this.) Which group are you reffering to LUGNET, or Clubs, or
are you just reffering to you opinion. Cause I know alot of poeple that happen
to like the trains, the cars that drive around, the lights and fountans and
the rest of the automated things at LEGOLAND. Are you going to discredit them
cause there not LEGO, or only hybrids as you put it? I have come to respect
the TLG, for the quality product that they make. And if an employee made
somthing then yes it is LEGO. Because if LEGO doesnt make then who has to make
it, to have it be LEGO?

| How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? I'd say something is pure LEGO(r) if Joe average consumer can go buy it at a store or direct from TLG and it comes in a LEGO box.
