This was more what I had in mind when I said a Mechspo could help TLC sell
their product, at least in the form that I buy it (bulk bricks). It may be
more profitable for Lego to sell bricks in plain plastic bags than sets
(with licensing strings attached) in fancy boxes with detailed printed
instructions.
Let the customer base supply the motivation for people to buy the bulk parts
by showing the more interesting and trendy things you can build with them.
Lego is a virtually indestructable toy that can morph anything you can
imagine. What could possibly be better than that (other than adding a
programmable computer to it, giving the semblance of intelligence and life
to creations, RCX!!). Oddly, TLC often demonstrates that they don't know
what their own product is all about. Bionicles are actually a pretty bad
idea from all standpoints in that they are a violent non-building system
with only half a dozen parts, but this doesn't mean they won't sell.
Funny, writing this I just remembered that episode of the Monkees where they
work at a toy factory that has lost its soul.
