I just realized how silly this all sounds.  Neither toy company invented Egypt,
it was invented by the ancient civilization that lived there thousands of years
ago.  None of the themes listed were invented by Lego (or Playmobile).

My feelings on the Mickey thing is that Lego should not make products based • on
other companies' ideas just to get money.

They should stick to things that they came up with, like policemen, firemen,
the coast guard, racing cars, construction workers, space shuttles, • airplanes,
Santa Claus, Ninjas, and Egypt.

Au contrair!  LEGO definately did not invent Egypt!  Playmobile did, and LEGO
shamelessly coppied it.  But you know what's even weirder?  They were
discussing Egypt on the news yesterday...it must have been some specialty
segment designed to get kids interested in the news.

(...) No, Chris was right. It was invented by Playmobil, I just forgot. Ben Roller (24 years ago, 10-Jul-00, to lugnet.fabuland)
