I just finished wading through the annual report - it's an interesting read.
Boiled down, I think it comes to: "Last year wasn't quite as bad a stinkburger
as we thought. Kinda."
It's the type of document that can be taken both ways. Improvements are
definitely happening, which is good news; but they still lost more. The bar
charts are particularly telling. Hard to spin the numbers.
It's funny to note what the media gloms on to... a lot of headlines read,
"Ailing LEGO to shed parks" or something along those lines. That was announced a
while ago. Whatever is the sexiest headline, I guess.
It would be very nice to hear a balanced, honest analysis of what this REALLY
means for LEGO in the long run. No doom-n-gloom chicken little, no corporate
happyspeak spin.
Anybody here volunteer? ;)
