Yes, that was exactly my point.  LUGNET does not represent the whole of the
LEGO buying community... only a small percentage who are 'in the loop'.
Whereas the LEGO site doesn't? Remember the reported increase in sales for

No, if you wanted real data about what the general public would buy, you
would survey them directly: You wouldn't automatically screen out those who
don't have internet access, and those that don't bother with LEGO.com

LEGO needs to realize that not all advertising costs money.

Generally, you get what you pay for, or sometimes, you pay for what you get.
