I was surprised -- I was expecting only 30 seconds of blurbage, but it was
actually about 2 minutes' worth. Some comments from KKK and a few seconds
of a TLC management/marketing meeting and talk about the recent product lines.
Narrator said that LEGO announced last year its first loss in its 60-year
history. KKK said that the company had developed many bad habits during the
many past years of positive results. Narrator said that LEGO MINDSTORMS
brought in over $35M during the holiday season. Lots of quick cuts between
MindStorms, Star Wars, and Soccer products. Also showed kids playing with
Soccer sets. Also showed a MindStorms robot on treads dragging a paintbrush
across a large white sheet, making patterns. Running time 1 minute 48 seconds.
