i think Lawrence has a point in LEGO's own creativity. Look at the retail
shelf. where's the appeal? where's the cool looking set that'll have the
parent think that it's cool enough for their kid? nobody's gonna wanna buy
crappy looking toys.

all of the most recent oustanding releases (except for bionicle) have been
only available at S@H. that's too bad. seeing a really cool My Own Train set
and Caboose on the retail shelf would have jazzed up the in store selection.

Lego is all about creativity, right?
Let your imagination run wild, build whatever you want, etc

So, where is Lego's creativity?

The imagination and creativity has always come from the people who play with
the toys, not the company who designs them.  There isn't really anything
creative about building a LEGO kit by the instructions, no matter how good the
model/theme is.

What?
Lego don't need creativity?
Lego doesn't need to think of attractive new themes to get people interested in buying stuff?
Why dont they just sell bulk bricks and be done with  it then?
