I am under NDA so cannot go into a lot of detail, but I did want to post to

first ever LEGO(r) Train Summit. We have just spent Friday evening and all
day Saturday meeting with folks from Lego Direct including Brad Justus,
Peter Andersen, an LD product manager, Jorn Kristian Thomsen the lead Lego
trains designer from Billund, Jake McKee, producer, and Steven Hawco, in
charge of the Shop at Home operation.

The conversation was wide ranging and very productive. We discussed things
that LD is going to be doing, the future of the product line and ways to
leverage the productive relationship between LTCs and LD.

Awesome!

I hope all of those who have been whining will think about what happened
here, and think about Larry's comments over the past few months about
how whining is not the best way to go about things, and consider that
this meeting probably took a while to set up.

One thing this would definitely seem to show is that TLC has not fallen
asleep at the wheel. They clearly have been paying attention to what the
LTCs have been doing, and the increased visibility of the brand to a
business segment which has a lot of potential (and has potential for
non-juniorized sets).
