(...) I still think Lego should do a Wizard of Oz castle theme. Think of all the scenes they could reproduce, and all the characters are public domain according to the W of O fan club. Markus (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Hmm. From my experience, they don't HAVE to adapt the kids to lego. I baby-sit two 5 y/o twins every Friday afternoon, so I get to see what other kids think about lego.

(...) Yes, *some* kids are that way. When writing the post, I was thinking of my friends, but perhaps they aren't so good to compare with, they are all over 14, and that's not really a "lego" age.
