A world without TLC frightens me. And it frightens me that the company may be
in trouble. Not grave trouble. Not yet. But maybe in a few years. IMO, the
new catalog indicates a slight shift in the right direction, but not by much.
Megabloks is coming on strong, and Lego needs to respond with a call to arms. I
find myself looking at the Megablok sets and wishing that they were Lego. I'll
remain loyal to the sets, but to paraphrase an earlier poster, kids just being
introduced to the brick have no reason to.
