Tim Gould has served the AFOL community well as LEGO Ambassador, all while balancing his own contributions and community involvement against his role as a TBB contributor. I believe that Tim will continue to serve the interests of the LEGO fans who read and comment here on TBB, and I support him in his efforts.

Although forty LEGO Ambassadors were selected last year for the 2008-2009 cycle, only a fraction truly participated regularly. Throughout the year, Tim consistently represented the interests of LEGO fans worldwide, with more than two hundred posts in the LEGO Ambassadors discussion forums. (For the record, all of the LEGO Ambassadors who are also TBB contributors were among the highly active minority.) In particular, Tim provided community feedback to LEGO about issues of concern to fans of the LEGO Trains and Town themes. Most importantly, Tim remained the voice of reason throughout discussions among LEGO Ambassadors from diverse fan communities with diverging interests.

As a LEGO Ambassador in the 2009-2010 cycle, I’m confident Tim Gould will represent the interests not only of his “traditional” constituencies, but of The Brothers Brick readership as well.
