Brad indicated they are doing fine.

Remember the comment about the Guarded Inn?  Orders from "kids" vastly
outnumbered orders from "adults" once the S@H catalog hit the streets.

That only shows that on this specific set, the rest of the enthusiasts and
us have the same opinion.  And I think Lego anticipated that, or else they
wouldn't have re-released the set. It doesn't show that it's selling better
than the other stuff.

My point is that LD can't make a product for just us.  For example, if they
came out with a huge bulk set of rare parts whose price point was very high
(> $100) we may buy it, but no one else would.  And our numbers alone
wouldn't justify ever making such a set.
