I saw some red flags with the Insectiods and LOM, but

Sadly, LEGO greatness has been reduced to a company on SELL OUTS! SELL OUTS!

Sure, it may be great for the company to direct space into one continguincy,
and reap more profits, but I think it may be destroying a potential target
group for space fans. Let's see lego launch into a Military theme or perhaps
a medieval european castle expasion. Now that would be great.

(...) company credo states that they will never base their product of violent war-like, gun toting toys. Wait a minute!! All those Castle, Pirate, Western and Star Wars sets are military and have weapons of personal or mass destruction. Oh well, (...) (22 years ago, 11-Aug-02, to lugnet.general)
