Interesting. Although you didn't give a ROS for the Star Wars, we'll have to
assume that Star Wars isn't selling as well as it used to, in light of the

obviously thinks that that's because it's Bob the Builder, not because it's
Duplo. Lego should be thinking very hard about its licensing agreements when
the Bob the Builder and the rest of the Duplo are at opposite ends of the Lego
aisle---Bob may move his own product, but apparently the retailer doesn't
expect any spill-over effect into the rest of Duplo.
