Are these dates the decisions of the North American aspects of the company? Or
are these dates reflective of the mothership's inability to grasp the concept
(like it or not) of the Xmas shopping season? I somehow feel that if LEGO
Canada could fill stores with product in October and November that they would.
Just a personal opinion based on almost a decade spent in front line retail
sales. Product arriving a week or two before Xmas is product arriving too late.
Customers *may* buy some of it, but many people get worried as Dec 24 approaches
and *may* also buy something else... something that is in stores.
But then I know nothing about the internal workings of the LEGO company, so this
strategy may be exactly as they intend it to be. Perhaps they have very good
reasons for not having much product in stores near Xmas?

Allan B.
