I think you are looking at this at the entirely wrong direction.
They have had these sets out at LLCA for some time now and last time I was there
they even had costume characters walking around dressed up as the KK2 knights.
And you know what - the KIDS love them. I really have not seen such a positive
reaction to a line that I have seen with KK2. EVERY single time (and trust me,
its ALOT) I walk by some of the KK2 sets there is some kid either begging his
parents to get him/her some of the sets or a parent asking the kid what one they
want.
I have got a few of these sets - my kids love it, their friends that come over
and play love it.... it is a very big hit.
I have not seen this reaction to ANY other line (including Star Wars, Harry
Potter and Bionicle).
I think you have to keep in mind Lego is going after the kids... not you. And
IMHO they hit this one out of the park.
So I say keep up the good work Lego - you are making your target audience happy.

My point is as simple as the thread title. The sets are (...) (20 years ago, 5-Jul-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.castle)

| Okay, I know I'm not saying anything new here. But give me a moment before you pass this off as another rant: I realize there are things going on at the company we AFOLs don't know about. I realize there is probably a certain piece-to-play ratio (...) (20 years ago, 2-Jul-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.castle, FTX) !
