I am not sure if anyone major could change there production runs now. I suppose
knowlege at the lower end of the food chain is much more powerful:
If I were a toy shop and I knew TLC had an impressive range on the way - I may
not buy megablocks.
Or, as a consumer, if I bought Lego at full retail (I seldom do), I might not
by the current product range, if I knew the one next year would be what I
_really_ wanted.
