Well, I can only second that. Even though I have the next LEGO shop more
or less around the corner (half an hour drive+searching for a parking
lot ;-), I usually do not buy there.
The more interesting sets have been available only through S@H or the
brand stores (too limited selection to go there, though) lately. Retail
stores are left with the leftovers. I wonder which granny is going on a
web site to buy a chrismas present for the grandchildren?
I am always amazed how those "educated people" who run such a company
can defy common sense (on this and many other occasions). If I weren't
such a fan of the product, I wouldn't mind getting the popcorn and watch
TLCs continuous commercial suicide...
concerned, Christian Treczoks
