John and I were both there and heard Brad say the same thing (unless John
knows something I don't, which may well be true) but apparently we have
different interpretations. I took Brad's comment about "no new molds" to
mean that it was part of the "deal" with Lego corporate that allows LD
to (re)develop sets outside of the normal process (Futura).
Pedantically, my statement is correct either way - it's just a question of
whether the "policy" is self imposed or imposed from above. Either way,
based on what I heard Brad say a few months ago, we shouldn't expect any
new element shapes to come out of LD. (Again, hearsay disclaimer, etc.)
