There seems to be a spate of Lego adverts in the UK at the moment! Out of the
ones that I've seen - Supercar, Droid Dev Kit, Town(city), etc.. the ZNAP one
is the most interesting, as in, why advertise something that was a one-off test
in the European market?

Unless:
A) They forgot to cancel the adverts.
B) They plan to release new ZNAP next year.
C) I dreampt seeing the adverts.

I bought my one and only motor-containing ZNAP set for £5.98 reduced from
£14.98. Beatties isn't the only shop to give it away - TRU have been trying in
their usual money-tight way to get rid of them. I can't see either of these
retailers being terribly impressed by ZNAP.

So my question is - did ZNAP fail as abysmally as I percieve, and will Lego be
able to sell ZNAP next year to stores, if indeed they intend to?

I'm guessing they lost money trying to promote it before - the instruction
booklet is more of an idea book and was actually a really nice suprise. The
packaging of the motors must have cut dangerously into profits too, if not
making them a loss.

Does anyone know whether ZNAP is confirmed for next year?
