The initial post has some decent points. I guess the Star Wars licence payed
off for Lego (we'll never know since it's a private company) but when I
first heard how much they paid for it I was aghast. Wasn't it something like
$50 million or $100 million?!
The points about Bionicle, etc.. are pretty moot. If no one likes them they
won't buy them and your problem will be solved. Lego is obviously not giving
up on traditional bricks and technic, so you have no worries. Just don't buy
the new sets.
I've sometimes looked at the pricing for some parts and wondered though,
specifically with Mindstorms parts. Some seem cheap, like the remote
control, but others seem way over priced like the temperature sensor and
other sensors.
When all is said and done, lego still means quality product and quality
customer support. The 2 times I called consumer affairs they were
outstanding and generous to the extreme. (especially considering the first
call was due to missing parts in a kit I bought used from E-Bay, and the 2nd
callw as to get an English CD for Cybermaster).

p.s. I have a hard time believing the previous message was posted by a 12
year old too. Do you have a home page or something on the internet we can
see? Or maybe an article on the internet that was posted about you? Sorry to
be suspicious but this is the internet after all. :)
