I see it as bad news for old-timers like me.
Their success seems to have come at the expense of the Lego values that
I hold dear, and as a consequence seems only likely to take Lego even
further away from what I would like so see, and more towards endless
- movie themes
- juniorisation
- theme specific parts
- collectables
And don't try to tell me about bulk bricks. 18 months on and it seems
there are less bulk bricks available now than when it started.
