Yeah, looks like LEGO has changed the site to make it slightly harder to do lots of messages at once…

Here’s the new way to do this — a bit more involved, but still for a good cause:

1. fill out the form
2. hit send (email #1)
3. hit your back button
4. hit send (email #2)
5. hit your back button
6. hit send (email #3)
7. hit your back button
8. edit the “from” address. i recommend adding a number to the name part of the email so you can keep track of the increments. example: if the from address is joe@hotmail.com, change it to joe1@hotmail.com
9. go to step 2

quick followup: I did about 400 yesterday and only received 12 bounce-backs.. so I plan on doing another bunch today.

Today I spent a little more than an hour sending messages. Utilizing the backspace key to go to the previous page faster than clicking, I averaged about 1 message every 2 seconds. So I figure I sent about 2000 of those! I will probably do this same routine a few more days, I plan to help donate at least 10,000 toys!

oops… looks like the back button trick does trigger this:

Hello,
Even thought they included a security script, the directions above still work. Just sent 10 messages to myself, and I received all of them.

Happy Clicking.

As many times as you can, just completed 300. Would have been more but its late, and I need rest.
