(...) Which still doesn't really answer the question of who's going to buy it, only by which arm of their distribution network it's being sold on. The question I still have is, "will adults buy this 'play set' for $100?" Or, will they only see it as (...) (21 years ago, 10-Aug-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

(...) The Bay Area ABC radio affiliate picked up on it too. In addition to mentioning the "cathedrals to robots", they talked to AF'sOL who admitted spending upwards of $10,000 a year on LEGO.

They probably don't expect it to sell well enough to retail sources (whether it would to customers is irrelevent), so they are offering it through their direct sales market. One store will then (...)
