Yup, it’s a darn shame that he put money into a non-licensed product that so
took the world by storm that while it was still fairly obscure it ranked as the
top selling ACTION FIGURE line (beating Star Wars, Power Rangers, etc.),
all by itself, with no help from any other more “pure” LEGO theme. Yeah, it’s
too bad that they’re pulling in so much profit on one theme, and that it’s
proved to be a marketable enough property that they can make money on
licensing fees from other companies, rather than the other way around.

Yeah, they did, and it’s a cute concept (one that probably won’t get them sued,
either), but I stand by my position that the 1:1 height/width ratio is going to
prove to be a severe limiter on construction possibilities. Any hardcore
Schliem fan can tell you how useful it is to be able to pull off minor offsets
that are only possible because of the 6:5 height/width ratio.
