I guess the only word that can possibly describe how I am feeling right now is ‘numb’. I feel extremely lucky in that I have been able to verify that everyone I know or have been in recent contact with from NYC has managed to survive this ordeal, and yet my thoughts are constantly being drawn back to the ‘what if?’ situations. We have been keeping the news tuned in at work, and I have been watching it at home. Part of why I have started adding content again is to give myself an emotional release.

Another part of my reasoning is what I had stated on the 12th. This site is not is not here as a source for real-world news, nor do we have the resources to serve in that capacity. There are more than enough major news sources keeping everyone informed of the latest details without a small collecting site trying to emulate them, so we won’t try to do so, though we will keep you informed of any major developments in the LEGO® Direct situation.

The third reason is that I realize that our viewership consists of a large number of adolescents. Many of them are not really able to grasp the full reality of this situation, a trait of which I am somewhat envious at this time. I wholeheartedly agree with those professionals who have stated that they need to be able to find a safe harbor in these coming days, and I intend that this website be one of them. Our viewership dropped by over one third between Monday and Tuesday, and while I’m not surprised to see that sort of result, I also realize that the fact that we retained close to two thirds means that this is a capacity in which we can serve.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
