The 6th of December is "Nikolaus-Tag", but that means just a few sweets for
the kids (put in a boot which has to be places at a window or door), but not
tons of toys. The main day for gifts is the evening of 24th.

No idea, how the Potter-Mania is in our neigbour country: but here in German
news I have heared Harry Potter Lego sells like no other toy. But Potter is
notnot a classic set and not a juniorized set.... So this proves in fact
nothing.
Concerning juniorization: we do not know enough about the production costs of
juniorized sets (less bricks, but lots of special monofunctional (= expensive)
ones) to judge about success or not. Lego does not allow us to have a look in
their cards. Since we know nothing, I hate this kind of speculation, which
tries to tell Lego, what their problem is. Lego has heared the voice of the
AFOLs and now we have sculptures, bulk and My Own Train. That counts. Who does
care about "Jack Stoned"? This is a discussion that has been done two years
ago. All arguments have been exchanged. That's it...
Regards,
Ben
