A 3 year old will still tell you that one twig she's digging in the dirt
with is a shovel, and the other twig is a rake. But maybe that's just
the kids I know... I'm sure there are still plenty of kids who think the
cardboard box is a heck of a lot more fun than whatever came in the box.
Seems to me that kids just don't have a chance to discover that same
versatility that a stick or a box have in current LEGO sets because all
the new stuff is so specifically oriented around looking "real" or
fitting some storyline. Let the kids make up their own stories instead
of force-feeding them some marketing crap.

| A general response to all that has been said in this thread. Didn't Lego Group have a terrible year in 1999 as well? It seems to me the business decisions made in 1998 lead to the terrible year in 1999. Now 2000 is bad! That would mean 1999 (...) (23 years ago, 29-Nov-01, to lugnet.general)
