Check out this article from The Age:

At the end it says, “As for moving production from Denmark, a decision will be made in 2007.”

I think selling the LEGOLAND parks was a good move because it keeps the core company focused on just the toys. I also like that the LEGO executives recognized that the sets and pieces were getting too specialized and have started simplifying things.

I doubt they’ll move away from Billund, personally. I think that simply making more compelling sets with simple pieces is going to help get them back in the black more than anything else they’ve done.
