And bulk orders are doomed to fail, right? That's what TLC probably thought
before the advent of Lego Direct -- presently, demand has exceeded all
expectations.

Why not? Aren't you asserting it as a fact that they SHOULD acknowledge? I
am continually mystified at persons who publically oppose marketing moves they
themselves would probably approve of should they be implemented. You wouldn't
buy a 6067 for $40-50 USD? Castle themed stuff would be flying off the
shelves if it weren't castle jr. and Fright Knights II.
No one wants to see the return of Blacktron I? Todd? Anyone...?
How about the Metro Liner? Larry? Anyone...?
SES, or BSB? Anyone?
I haven't seen Playmobile give up on these themes...
