Yeah, TLG has been losing it's "original" products (Space Police VS
Blacktron, DECENT Town sets, etc. etc.). When I was in second grade (about 6
years ago) my friends and I found an old Lego magazine from like '91 and we
say the Blacktron sets and went... w..ww...ow. wowwowwwooww...
an we called the S@H people and they said they didn't make them anymore and
we were like "Uh! Ohh..." It really stunk to us. Now I think little kids may
see the Spyruis magazines and such and be like "ww..www.w.w.wwwwwww...ow.."
like we were. Sorta dissapoints me.

Although we liked the themes a lot, we probally would have tended to enjoy
Star Wars a lot more than Blacktron, or we would have mixed them together.
That would create an intersting phenomonon :-D...

Disney, same thing.  I mean, the established Mickeyverse characters. • Well, I'm

Harry Potter was probably a good fit,

and more licenses with less-established products...

Jack who?,

Is Jack Stone a license?  I didn't think it was, I thought it was just an
action-oriented Creator line.

Jurassic Park...
why? isn't that kind of like what the whole current Adventurers theme is • based
on anyway?

Well, to be fair these are apparently going to be "Moviemaker" sets. • Although
the same question can be asked... aren't these what it's kind of based on
anyway?

I wonder if they'll use the new "Dinosaurs" peices in the JP Moviemaker • sets.

Anyway, with all the dino-stuff in the first run of Moviemaker, and • Speilberg's
involvement in JP3, I kinda thought we'd ear about this eventually.

It's a shame, since The Lost World was such a terrible movie.

Oh well if it keeps the $$ flowing for TLC then all the more power to • them.

Well.  I feel the same way, sort of.  If TLC thinks that this is the way • to
make money, they might abandon the things that make me like them so much • in the
first place.
