Nevertheless, I stand by my original assertion that offering royalties isn't
critical at all in making the Lego Factory concept a success - and just adds
another layer of complexity to what is no doubt an already complex process.
It was a nice touch to pay royalties for the Factory contest winners - since
their sets will be marketed this summer by Lego and achieve a high level of
visibility within Lego advertising. However I can't see the same thing happening
for everything that gets designed and ordered through the Factory. But who
knows, maybe they we keep a version of the Factory contest going and select a
few set designs and their designers for royalties and mass marketing
opportunities. We will have to wait and see.
