Town? How exactly does the time twisters/ Cruisers fit into the town theme?
I couldunderstand by the fact that other groups want nothing to do with it,
but I think arranging themes by TLC's standards do more to confuse the entire
layout for the themes, and a lot of themes get needlessly left out.
For example, Alpha Team is generally a good series, and I think it would
do well under the .build category, kind of militaristic, yet modern.
However, I doubt others would agree with me on that, because the general
populus seems
only to revolve around Space, Castle, Trains, Town, technic or robotics/
cad. So, I guess there's no room for rogue themes.

Then why would Galidor be a theme? If it's a short run of products that have
basically nothing to do with the Lego concept (besides interchangable arms and
heads), than I do *not* consider it to be Lego, and rather a line of product.
After all, the Galidor parts cannot mingle with the basic brick, have trouble
matching with technic parts, and are generally overspecialized. Think of them
as some of the other lines such as Bionicle Trading cards, Writing Pen (what?)
and other generally useless products that have no purpose IMO.
Oh wait! I can think of a use for the galidor products, they make *really*
nice doorstoppers and paperweights! :)
So, If they can't combine with the common Lego, I will not consider it a theme,
and see no real reason for the Galidor group.
(in my personal opinion, Lego should scrap the action figure concept
entirely...stay with the bricks, and remain faithful to the original product...)
