Oh no - let's not go there....

Actually the Lego/Apple comparison is not that far off.  Both have
intense user loyalty; both (well Apple until recently) have very
screwed up marketing practices.

It is sad to go into store after store and see a tiny corner with a
pitiful selection of Lego sets all jumbled up with other toys (usually
Megablocks or other clones).

Would TLG be better served by selling Lego's in fewer places, but
require them to be better stocked (more sets, service packs, trains,
etc) similar to the Apple Store within a Store concept with CompUSA?
