It would be AWESOME if LEGO were to sponsor such a building challenge themed
TV show. One of the most-asked questions at our train shows is 'are these
all kits? where can I buy them?' They are floored when we tell them we
build it ourselves, from our own imaginations. I've discovered that a LOT
of people don't see LEGO as a creative medium on ANY level (perhaps that's
cause their kids just build sets?). LEGO hasn't touted the 'limitless
possibilities' aspect of their products in recent years as much as they have
pushed pre-fab themes, licensed items, etc.
That show concept is awesome, and it would celebrate what the LEGO building
system is *really* about.
