Silly is perhaps not strong enough (try stupid)
They have not seen the potential that we see at train shows from the true

Who is talking about new items for the kids here? there is so muh "Crap" on the
shelves for them now that the shops can't get rid of now (Bionicles) We (AFOL's)
are probably the bigger side of the spending group by far.
How about we hear from the famous Jake McKee about his thoughts and perhaps
Leoo's on this one
Anyhow that's my 20c worth and I agree with Gary keep yelling and see what it
does.
Jake how about something from you (support)
