Well the reason is they got outbidded by another toy company (which
primarily make...dolls!!) Arrghh!!!
That, and from a production standpoint, introducting a new theme, with other
themes just being put out, and other sets getting new stuff, has to put a
lot of strain on a companies bottom-line. We had Bionicle, Creator line,
Jack Stone, Harry Potter to name a few. As well, producing the legends line,
lego classics, and new stuff for its various other lines: soccer, starwars,
Mindstorms (2.0, and the master builder set)....
I don't think I need to continue.....
With all the ABS available, toy (and department) stores, Lego Direct, E-bay
(or brickbay), there should be no reason, you (AFOL's in general) can't come
up with MOC's that have to do with the movie...(LotR).
