Those who paid $800 for a single set (I have) will still have their Lego...
so what's the worry?
I think in the long run it will be good. We may see the return of parts
which we never thought we'd see again... and some we do not want to see
again (Fabuland!). As these sets will have minimal development costs, we may
even see slightly cheaper Lego... but I doubt it!
I just hope Lego bring back some good sets. Sure, the 8459 is OK. But the RC
car... why? 8460 (for parts) please... find those molds Brad!
