This has been mentioned before (at least twice I think), but I still find the
topic interesting. If it's the same ad I saw some months ago, the persons in
the ad are playing with the Night Lord's castle set and one of them
is "swooshing" the black dragon. My main point of interest is how much better
an ad for lego products this ad for Oppenheimer is than anything I have
actually seen TLC throw together.
I dunno, maybe it's me but I get the idea that TLC thinks that people find the
idea of just blocks boring, and they SO don't! All the Technic elements,
motors, and even Mindstorms stuff are great extensions of a great initial
product --but nothing detracts from the pleasure of building something from
blocks that sticks together and will not just fall down like a house of cards,
or a house of wood blocks for that matter...
People love to build with blocks...if they build a thing that can
be "swooshed," they will swoosh it...
