...and this would be exactly why I would think that Lego _should_ sell
all the varied parts they use to build their mega-models and their
Legoland parks.
It's sort of the attraction of auto racing. We look at these guys going
a zillion miles an hour and we think, "Gee. If I had a race car, I could
do that, too." Turns out most of us actually can't. So sure, we think,
"Gee, if I had those parts, I could do that, too." But most of us can't.
So we'll still have to pay to go see it. And since some small part of our
brain, even though we've been proven wrong, wants one more try, we _will_
pay...
