I think LEGO could do themselves some good advertising Mindstorms and
Technic on The Learning Channel, Discovery, Arts & Entertainment, etc.
Those are the channels I watch.  The demographic being mostly people
interested in learning, exploring, and accomplishing stuff.


I recall about a year ago when Mindstorms came out (guessing there)
they showed LOTS of Mindstorms ads on tv, if I remember correctly, I
either saw them on Discovery or on TNT during Babylon 5, but alas, all
my season 1 B5 tapes are in a box in a larger box with a lock on it,
in a building with cameras and locks on it, so I can't go and check.
^_^;;  At any rate, I remember two ads, one was with a robot that
would knock all the plates off the table so the kid in the ad didn't
have to clean the table.  The other ad was the photobot which if I'm
not confusing it with another ad, would sneak into the bathroom and
take a picture of someone.
