(Although I am not a TLC spokesman) TLC has *already* instituted a marketing strategy like what you and others in this thread are discussing-- Brad Justus said TLC calls them "HTOs" (High Traffic Outlets). They have some chrome castle sets and others which are placed in high traffic retail establishments such as super markets, convenience stores, etc and other non-toy businesses. Their price point seems to be about $5, which I think is not bad, considering what you could actually get in a set that only costs $2 (heck, a minifig is valued around $1!) I wouldn't be offended if somebody at LD doesn't respond to this thread-- you guys are just a little behind on the time curve. For more info about HTOs, read Brad's post: http://news.lugnet.com/general/?n=22981 -John > > > -Marc Nelson Jr.

(...) This reminds me of one of my favorite childhood memories. Every time I would go grocery shopping with my grandfather, on the way back we would stop at a little drugstore. They had this tall rotating rack full of Matchbox cars, and I would (...) (23 years ago, 9-Mar-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
