2. Maybe it's 100 bucks *at their price* for bricks.... (goes a looong way)

Previous practice with prizes has been at MSRP.

  I went to the employee's shop in Billund and the employees can buy sets for
the same price shops buy, I don't think they are going to sell sets cheaper. So
the money is not going to make it worth.

2. Here's a chance to design a set that has *great parts* in it--
think of it as an exercise in bulk management and a community service:-)

I think this is supposed to be point 3 rather than 2. I know you mac users
have trouble counting and stuff, but still. I haven't seen the catalog so I
can't say what the rules say but from what Mike said I don't see any
implication that the set is going to be released for purchase, just published.

  Maybe the entries can show TLC that we don't want juniorized sets, if
everyone submits nice sets we can send a message to TLC about what we'd like to
see in the future.

  If they can change the train later, it means the designers will look at the
train. This could at least give them some inspiration when designing the next
sets.
