Good show, old bean! How was this recieved? Now thats what I'm talkin' 'bout! What did your euro partner have to say about this?

How was this recieved?

Let's just say that 3 German guys, who happen to be
designers for Lego, did a lot of this -

...and a lot of
"why can't we do this?" as well as "this is what
we should be making/it looks better than ours" -
referring to everything there, but mainly all of the
castle stuff and the arms.

The really funny part about this -
There was only 1 of these guys there originally, but after
seeing this stuff, jumped on his cell phone and told the
other 2 guys(in Germany)to get on a plane and meet him
there the next morning, to see for themselves. Guess what?
8:00 am the next day, they were there.

Also - these 3 guys, for whatever reason, had 2 other
guys pick up some of the castle stuff for them to take
back. Hmmm...

I must be doing something right.

You've always been doing something right.

Let's cross our fingers and hope this bodes well for the future of Castle products.

Please, please, please!!!

Thats a good story, blasterman, maybe LEGO will get in gear and make better stuff.

If one nutcase in Maryland can do this

with a little euro help, what could TLC do with their deep pockets?

Honestly Jeff, your work has always been "right." We've told you as much many times. It is encouraging to see that TLC may be paying attention to something so close to home for us. I agree that this looks better than theirs. This oughta make you feel proud. It will be interesting to see what happens next. I'm sure new product development is at least 18 months out. Of course they have a long standing policy about not taking ideas directly from fans. Who knows?
