heh, that's a very good point, and I think you're right.  The two
positions are mutually exclusive.  IMO, AFOLs do not make an impact on
TLC with the sets we buy (though it does seem like a lot of money to
us), but we do create a noticable amount of advertising for LEGO and
TLC, thus generating more sales.  I wish we could see if there was any
surge in calls for S@H after the GATS show this weekend - we gave out
100s of S@H cards there...
