I've said it before, it is my view that 4561 is a good product for the
market it is targeted at. Town Jr. is a good product for the market it is
targeted at. Bionicle is a good product for the market it is targeted at,
for that matter. None of those are targeted at us, so trashing them doesn't
accomplish much, really.
LEGO is not a monolith. The creation of products requires Product Managers.
LD has product managers now. 4561 did not come from the same place that
Statue of Liberty came from.

It was the *first* LEGO(r) Train Summit.

Nothing... not the dissolution of the company, not the end of the minifig,
not the decision by the company to focus on WWF action figures, even, would
cause me to sell my collection. Stay focused. What TLC does can help us have
*more* fun but cannot in any way detract from the fun we have with our
current collections unless we *let* it detract. Stay focused.
Hypothetical examples of course.

No, he didn't ask wether there would be more train summits, but having
assumed there assumed there will be, whether non-northamerican train fans
(lego staff don't really count) will be included in the invitations.
