I think that's an overly dramatic statement, not backed up by any facts.
LEGO as a company might in some ways be in decline, but the fan community now is
bigger and richer than ever before. Our own digital magazine, websites for most

LEGO becoming more and more an excepted item among scale modellers (LEGO at

Sure some people might go, but for each person going another new fan is joining
(in fact it's probably 2 or more, looking at the growth of most sites and LUG's)
