Richard, I disagree with you on this. The Legoland parks are something
worthwhile, which I knew virtually nothing only five years ago. I happened
to visit Windsor's in '97, and let me tell you: it was worth every penny!
As for watches, clothes and such, they are a stable ground for business: TLC
is focused on children, so it is not too odd seeing them offering other
sorts of products to this public. IANAE, but I believe it is called
"Horizontal development" - different stuff, same public. It may have not too
much to do with the "brand" concept.

As for the parks, I believe you may change your oppinion after seeing one.
The miniland dioramas are purely fantastic!
