I was wondering, reading those two paragraphs...
1) LEGO asks kids what they want and 2) LEGO is apparently listening to us
too... so how big is the adult market share? I mean ofcourse I understand
that LEGO is mainly a toy and children are their 'real' target audience, but
if it's worth listening to AFOLs comments then I guess the AFOL market is
also valuable. Perhaps it is time for LEGO to realise that they did well
enough in the past that yesterday's kids are still that much attached to the
product today and turned into AFOLs...
So, any guesses about how big the AFOL market is? Does LEGO have marketing
data on that, or have they never thought of adults as their target audience?

I'm happy to know LEGO is actually listening :-)
Perhaps it's an idea to post something monthly, I think many of us awould be
happy with a post that briefly addresses some questions asked here and a
short description of plans etc. I would be happy with a regular posting like
one you just posted.
