LEGO does not need just better design but also to stick longer to a theme.
From a consumer point of view, the Aquazone stuff doesn't match the Rock
Raiders stuff, even though the bricks can be mixed etc. a parent will
probably choose a theme and stick to that. You probably won't buy all themes
but just a few, killing off a theme means losing some fans on that front, if
the theme that replaces that one isn't as interesting or doesn't really
match another theme you're losing consumers.
On a side note: the Rock Raiders have a lot of potential IMHO but are just
too expensive to start collecting :-(

Totally agree with you on this point.  All you do when you kill off a theme is
fustrate your customers.  Why kill off good selling themes like Pirates.  Even
Wild West sold pretty well and it was way short lived.  It looks like Ninja
will be dieing off now.  At least they are returning to the regular castle
stuff.  Adventurers is a positive lets just hope that they keep it going.
