I almost died in my chair!
I have understood that both the SW and HP lines have been very good for TLC,
so I guess there is no arguing with success. I just don't see why a
licensed toy has to entirely replace an existing theme line -- I really
don't see these licensed toys as actually replacing the themes in question.
Someone tried to make me watch the HP movie (I fell alseep) and while I saw
some castle-like venues and myth-based creatures the HP stories are very
clearly something besides castle.
Thankfully, the Legends, Classics, and MOC lines are perceived as something
else again -- so at least we have those things. And I hope there will be
much more there.
I dunno, this wish-listing is making me remember back when LD was announced.
Maybe I am still asleep, but I seem to recall a discussion about LD
releasing rarer elements to order. I think it was supposed to be something
like LD announcing a set of possible elements in certain colors and then
people voting on them until the interest was high enough that TLC would be
sure of meeting costs plus a reasonable profit margin. Something like that.
I can't recall if that was part of an official LD statement or just people
wishing for stuff themselves. Ho hum...
