Then there's the poor little kids who have jsut started building lego who
get these cheap sets and when they get tired of them they go in the closet
like any other toy, accept they fall apart. One reason for Lego's success is
the transformation fact. My friend builds huge space battle cruisers all the
time. Then he gets tired of them and crushes them into something new. Kids
won't be able to do that with Jack Stone or something else severely juniorized.
Yes, Lego is a childs toy, but can't it be a good one? At this pace, Lego is
not going to be building construction toys anymore.
