Agreed.
You might go so far as to say one of the only things holding sales up is
that some of the sets being sold contain some original style bricks which
are still made of the original recipe.
But of course my argument is that if the sets were better designed and
contained even more bricks then sales (and ultimately future adult fans)
would be on the increase instead of the decrease.
