Picture this:
You're walking down the cereal aisle at the supermarket and suddenly, out the
corner of your eye, you see boxes of cereal with little images of LEGO pieces!
You look closer and -- it's LEGO Creator! On a CD-ROM! Bundled with Cocoa
Puffs and Lucky Charms cereals for four bucks.

What a bizarre world we live in, eh?
I didn't find anything at www.generalmills.com or www.lego.com about this
co-promotion -- apparently there are other software titles as well. Maybe
TLC is contracting out co-marketing to a third party.
The Cocoa Puffs are yummy! I haven't tried out LEGO Creator yet. I'm plenty
happy with LDraw, so it might sit for a while. :-)
Anyone else seen these around? Anyone know if it's a U.S.-only promotion?
BTW, the same supermarket (one of the Star Market stores in Cambridge,
Massachusetts) also had a whole display stand full of ThrowBots.

p.s. Cocoa Puffs and Lucky Charms are trademarks of General Mills, Inc.

| $4 is what it is worth. I love the concept, but the parts are limited, and it has a tendency to save itself with little glitches so that the lovely town you have been building for weeks suddenly won't open anymore, because one of its many files has (...)
