Thing is, this stuff *will* go by the wayside, and TLC will probably lose money
(I can't imagine them selling enough of that stuff to recoup all of the new
molds' and R&D costs) or at best break even.
What gets me is that those financial resources could have been poured into the
System, making *it* stronger and more viable.
Why has the simple concept of "don't fix it if it ain't broke" become so
difficult for Billund to grasp? They have created the most awesome toy ever
invented; why anyone would abandon that is difficult for *me* to grasp...
