"System" to me is more about an interconnected play world, with original,
open themes, than it is about the particular form of the figures. Playmobil
has its own "system," for example. Lego could conceivably develop a new one
based on a different figure than the mini-figure, which might (again, just
speaking conceivably here) sell better to today's kids than the mini-figure.

That was my point, moreso than the licensed nature of that set-- I want to
encourage TLC to make more large, sophisticated sets. Model Team, Castle,
whatever-- just more, please!
