'Wrong' is an innapropriate word choice - for short-term profit, selling lots
of things to one person is better. For keeping as much fans happy as possible,
spreading it out more equally is better. Right/wrong doesn't come into it.

Is anything else relevent? As in, I'd happily contribute to a thread in
market.theory about an innovative business plan that would allow LEGO to
placate as many fans as possible - if such an aim is achievable (who knows?).

Seperating the entwined topics might help calm down the overly high emotions,
which I don't think belong in this group.

As I said, I wouldn't be able to convince you if I was God, anyway. Therefore I will let you have the false (...) (27 years ago, 27-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)
