The reporter let me know that the video was released on Friday, but I forgot
to post it until one of my buyers messaged me that he had seen it.

Wow another interview!
Have you experienced a rise in sales lately?
I guess that FT finally figured out that LEGO is more than just bits of plastic

video Adam (AntBandit) did of the walk through of the store.

Hard hitting, interesting production.
I appreciated your responses in particular, as well as admire both your attitude
of investment and drive. Impressive
Overall, an interesting bit of journalism nonetheless. Though in keeping with
today’s journalism, fundamentally flawed premise, as usual.
Especially the approach TLG had/has to BrickLink and the overall secondary market
of their product, is where understanding breaks down completely. But the usual
lackadaisical approach inevitably kicks-in, drawing from disgruntlement among
aftermarket sellers in lieu of digging deeper. That would of course take more
time and effort
Thanks for sharing, and very impressive store layout, btw.

| Adam (AntBandit) is one of my local AFOLs and is a very active member of PeachLUG.
He reached out to me last year and asked if he could do a behind the scenes
tour. I wasn't about to turn that down. He does work for TLG and has been
doing stop motion LEGO production for years. Great guy who does amazing video
work.

| So the Financial Times of London reached out to me in the last 2 weeks of November
last year and asked if I would do an interview. They said they were doing an
article on the sustainability of LEGO and wanted to look at the secondary market
as a part of that. In the second week of January the videographer came and spent
6 hours filming me and my work day. I didn't sit down to do the interview
with the reporter until almost 4:00 pm. The actual Q&A was an hour and a half
and was pretty deep. We covered a LOT of material and questions. I guess I shouldn't
be too surprised that they cherry picked just those parts of the interview to
air. I wasn't all doom and gloom through the whole thing, but as is my want
was my typical cynical and honest self. There was plenty of praise and accolades
that was edited out. Not upset, just what it is.

You misunderstand, WildBricks.
I hadn't considered your interview when stating "drawing from disgruntlement
among aftermarket sellers in lieu of digging deeper" but rather the journalist's
far too obvious other sources.
As I said; I appreciated your inputs

Oh, no, total misunderstanding. I wasn't inferring anything. I was more commenting
along the same lines. Over an hour's worth of interview questions and that
was the take-away from it. I started out in journalism so I should know better.
(But I have to keep reminding myself that public radio of 25+ years ago is not
the same as modern journalism.)

Why is every one so obsessed with the sustainability of LEGO all the sudden?

Typical media.
