What I find interesting is that when I think of carefully scripted product
lines, I can only think of Rock Raiders, Bionicle, and Orient Expedition.
Assuming this summer's clearances reflected how well product was selling,
only one of those three lines was successfull. To me, that is not a
ringing endorsement of the idea of spending money developing and marketing
a detailed story for the toys.
