Perhaps somewhat to video games, I know I played a lot of
Atari 2600 and used LEGO as well, so it might be an overall
impact, but not a specific one. Most LEGO software to me
seems... rather useless I guess. Those other things you
mentioned would be interesting to see, overall sales and
stats.

I hate to say this knowing soime people are really excited
about this, but I think Bionicle is that new stuff, and
probably not too far off from Throwbots, or Roboriders, or
whatever. I think it is a bad move, let the market decide
however. I know I won't be buying any.

In temrs of profitability of course, not in quality. I love
the bulk packs.
