Another 'me too!'  I totally agree with your discussion of product availability
and price.

Here's an older post of mine which touches on the same thing, but mostly rants
about Juniorization: http://news.lugnet.com/dear-lego/?n=2877

I got the chance to talk to a Dacta employee in New York in the middle of
February while I was there for the CAD summit.  He, along with a few other
employees, were interested in what I had to say.  I agree with you 100% when you
say LEGO isn't reaching the potential it could.  The sad thing is, whatever
they're doing is causing them to lose money - they should properly examine their
potential and go for it, I don't have the figures but I think in the long run it
will be profitable.
