Interesting point. I think that they got so hell-bent on becoming the world's
most popular toy by 2005 (or whatever their silly goal is), that they let
focusing on merchandising cloud their judgment. Now that they have been
chastised by the market, hopefully they will learn the lesson that we want
blocks, not clocks.
