A lot of positive feedback on this, but I guess I'll play devil's advocate.
If it's for kids, why are you marketing it with such an adultish, high-tech
name: Digital Designer?
The name sounds like some kind of powerful software program that would allow
someone to design sophisticated models, etc. I'm curious to see what the
software looks like, and what the interface looks like. But since it's for
kids, I'm trying not to get too excited about it. I've been disappointed
about announcements before (still waiting on a better brick assortment for
purchase).
Since it's for kids, shouldn't it be called something like "Lego Designer",
and then when you bring out a sophisticated program out, call that one
"Digital Designer"?
Just a thought. Keep up the good work.
