It *blows* my mind to wonder how these clowns can stay in business! Maybe it would
be good if Disney bought Lego <gasp>. At least *they* understand marketing... too
well! The *only* answer I could come up with is that TLG has completely stupid,
irrational, fiercely loyal, financially well-off customers...US! I seriously make
the analagy to a drug pusher and an addict. They have us by the proverbial balls.
And...I...can't....stop....buying....:-) < stupid grin of strung-out Lego junkie.
