Wow, TLC really has a good idea this time.  I read this part of the
press release:

  To play up its message, Lego plans a $15 million
                          marketing campaign, its biggest-ever launch.
In addition to
                          television commercials, Lego hopes to link the
product with
                          top skateboarders, a group that many children
in its target
                          age group try to emulate. The company says it
already has
                          signed a skateboarding superstar, whom it
won’t name, to
                          endorse the product at competitive events and
special
                          promotions. It also has a license to display
Bionicle signs at
                          certain skateboarding contests.

And I can just imagine kids seeing this at skateboarding events and
rushing to buy construvction toys like the neato 9157 Xtreme Sports
Skatepark.  Way to go TLC!  Oh, wait a minute....that's made by Rivtik
;(
