Follow-up: In the Danish TV News, in two interviews,
the new CEO said, that most of the production would probably be moved to China
(where Click-its and many parts are already made)
and
KKK said that the trouble for LEGO was that they had focused too much on growth,
and had becomed too dependant on licensed products, as opposed to the basic

and furthermore it was mentioned, that KKK will give 800 mill DKr (appx 140 mill
US dollars) of his own personal fortune to TLC.
