LEGO, your products have been looking great for 2005. Improved Knight's

LEGO is about: building and rebuilding. How can one build something new
and creative when all the parts are glued together? If I want to deal with
a glued model, I'll go to a hobbyshop and buy a train, pull out a bucket
of Elmer's and...need I say more?

Please, LEGO, lay off the glue. And keep LEGO a constructive toy.

not really.  The masterbuilders use glue for their skulptures
and masterpieces.

I think the glue was to make sure the gameboard didn't break
into pieces if the <child> dropped it.  (its allegedly supposed
to be travel worthy) ;)
