Can I have a HUGE round of applause for Dave here?
This sounds like someone who loves LEGO, but at the same time, also understands
that LEGO is trying to do what it can to get sales from a larger market--in
light of many companies who have grown over the years. It appears that there is
a "fad" and "non-fad" market approach, just as Dave has said...not into the
"fads"?, then go for the "non-fad" stuff (PLEASE, don't bring the color
discussion up...if you do, I'll direct you to the nearest dead horse...).
Kids today are different from us kids from 10,20, or even 30+ years ago. LEGO
has to change with the kids, as much as we may stay in our own "static"
childhood of many years ago. Sure, I had fisher-price Adventure People, a
Transformer or two, a bunch of G.I. Joe toys, (no power rangers--weren't around
as a kid), I even wanted a few of the Bandai Robotech toys, even had a HO train
set as a kid (even put my Lego town inside the HO layout), but the only toy
that's endured for 30 years...is LEGO.
as an aside...working at my LEGO store one day, I was stacking boxes of
product...when all of a sudden, I realized that I was stacking them in an
interlocking pattern...a pattern I learned about from playing with LEGO as a
child...talk about your "full circle"....

| (...) Well, I think the issue isn't that kids are any dumber or less creative than they used to be-- it's just that Lego is aiming for a different market. Back when I was a kid, there were a few other kids I knew that played with Lego. A few. Almost (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jul-04, to lugnet.general)
