I'd say that the rep was trying educate a employee that showed excrement over the product line that they represent. If the rep can fuel the excrement in a stores employee it could motivate them to take ownership of the LEGO section to ensure that it is kept filled and strait in way that's better than what normally happens. If LEGO didn't want this info out they should have at least instructed the reps to either not show that info, or to ask that the stores employee not repeat it. I don't work for TRU so I don't know their policies and this type of situation, so I cannot say if it violates their policy on such issues, I suspect they may not have a policy that covers this issue specifically, but that is speculation again. Mike 1. No I am not saying whom I work for, I don't represent them here or any other place but my store when I am on the clock. 2. I no longer have a connection to the toy section, I work elsewhere currently, but did have the toy section for a time. I never did see any 'secret' lines when I did have the toy section either :^) (3) 3. I did get a neat Star Wars LEGO poster out if it though :^) Mike -- All other themes are just spare parts for Castle! :^)
