Amen! It seems like LEGO is trying to walk a tightrope, cutting costs, but
still maintaining their image as the leader in quality. I don't think they're
doing a very good job of it.
IMO, LEGO is *currently* not being clobbered on price, but on desireability of
themes. The MB Dragons stuff *looks* cool, even though it's lower quality and
less 'brickish'. On the store shelves, when the sets are side-by-side, most of
the LEGO assortment looks lame next to the clone sets.

Totally agree. I want a product I can hand down to my grand-children (once
they're grown up, of course ;).
