I'm saddened that a lot of AFOLs have become disenchanted with the company • and
some to the point of being very cynical and abusive of them.

I guess that this comment is directed to my statement about Lego
disappointing me. I didn't really mean to be so cynical, I was just trying
to be realistic. The town role theme really appeals to 4-7 year olds and
Lego has demonstrated that they want to offer junior sets to this target
age. So I doubt I will ever get the town sets I want to see. Maybe they will
surprise me, but it is easier to not expect something and be surprised than
hope for something which will most likely never happen.

The part I don't get is that the Town sets DO appeal to girls over a larger
age range than boys and the current sets are difficult to purchase for girls
past the age of 5. The one exception to this is the Soccer set, this one
does appeal to older girls. My problem is I don't want to fork out $50 on a
kids birthday present that didn't come out of my belly.
