| How on Earth did this image get cleared by the catmins? 
I have seem some blurry, dark, petite, ... pictures of Lego items in the past
15 years on BL, but a sideways image of a minifig?
I don't even get what benefit there would be from taking a picture this way.

| True, the name does not make much sense anymore now the remaining European branch
of TRU decided to release these in September (they did so last year as well when
there was still an American TRU), but originally these TRU specials were released
in October only, hence the name. I did notice the boxes sine last year no longer
mention "bricktober" anywhere, but I figured the name is better known in the
community than "TRU specials".

| I was wondering why the Bricktober sets (HP and Jurassic World) are still pending
to be added to the BL catalog?
Seems they are being sold on Ebay and other venues for quite a while now and
in serious quantities, so they must be released in some countries.
Even on BL they are already being sold:

As we have no Toys'r'Us in Belgium I have no idea whether they were already
in the stores last week (perhaps some German members can fill in?).
Is BL awaiting some kind of "official" release or waiting for the US release?

| BL was sold to a company and the only interest a company has is making profit.
Likewise, a growing group of people on this platform have their livelyhood depending
on selling enough Lego every day to make ends meet.
Not much room for "hobbyists" or Lego enthusiasts anymore it seems at times.
Although, I was pleasantly surprised to see this community come alive again with
the ongoing Brickarms debate. Notwithstanding a few out-of-tune voices, the majority
is appalled by what most feel is an attack on the "purity" (for lack of a better
word) of this Lego platform.
Not that the Chinese owners or any of the admins could give a hoot about what
they probably consider old fashioned whining, but I take (small) comfort in the
knowledge that if they'd take it too far most AFOLs would leave this platform
and take their business elsewhere. That doesn't even need a majority of sellers
to leave to destroy this place, just a majority of the top 50 sellers.
Many years ago I sold so much in one month I ended up in that top 50 list. To
this day I am still astonished as to how many thousands of Euros / Dollars one
has to earn selling Lego to even make that list and I guess by 2017's standards
that nr has significantly been raised.
I think this website has become a selling platform first and a community second.
The "community" has loads of other forums these days to discuss their hobby and
I guess the BL admins are fine with that.
