What are you talking about? This argument just doesn't hold water. Video
games and cable tv were around and popular 20 years ago (especially video
games). Not to mention the fact that lego's greatest releases were early/mid
80s - early 90s.
Maybe you meant 30 years ago or aren't living in America.
TLG just isn't doing the promotion they used to, except for junk like Bionicle.
