Nothing odd about that.
Preliminary and confidential pictures are protected by law.
If a retailer allows the reproduction of pictures in a catalog that he isn't allowed to le anyone see, then he/she violates some laws.
We have no lust to engage in a lawsuit discussion with TLG and thus such pictures are removed.
When pictures are deeplinked on Eurobricks, then our cache hosts them and that's the violation.
Let me say this as clear as possible:
No deeplinked images of illegal pictures.
[notch notch, know what I mean?!, eh?!]
I have to go now.
But I'll be back in a few hours to check on you
