(...) The show is amazing. Anyone who hasn't seen it, oughta. I recommend netflixing the DVDs as they are available. Unlike Galidor, Avatar is the real deal and totally worth it to watch and enjoy. It is about as good as the old-school Animated (...) (19 years ago, 30-Aug-07, to lugnet.market.theory, FTX)

(...) Steve, My concern is that a retailer that has had many exclusive sets over the years is not apparently carrying your product anymore. LEGO seems to be losing market share in a huge way and that is not a good sign. This as set design seems to (...) (19 years ago, 29-Aug-07, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.market.theory, FTX)

(...) Its also important to note that due to the supply transition the LEGO group had to pick its focus this year and that focus is Wal-mart, Target and TRU. The idea is that LEGO will do all it can to keep those three accounts as well stocked as (...) (19 years ago, 29-Aug-07, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.market.theory, FTX)

I heard that if LEGO couldn't guarantee a certain amount of stock level by a certain date, then Sears has to make the decision to not include them in their catalog. I'm sure many people remember the amount of LEGOs on store shelves last December (...) (19 years ago, 28-Aug-07, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.market.theory, FTX)

(...) Somehow I doubt that will happen. There may be some reordering of prices due to a newly competitive market, but I don't see a wholesale failure of BL, at least not for this reason. If TLC allows the ability to obtain certain "previously (...) (20 years ago, 9-Apr-06, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.market.theory, FTX)

(...) I came across this cartoon by channel stumbling Sat. morning with my 7 yr old a couple of months ago and don't miss an episode now. I'm very suprised they chose this program to base a line on and going to be watching how well it does. I (...) (20 years ago, 6-Feb-06, to lugnet.market.theory, FTX)

(...) I myself have never sat through an episode of the show, but my 8 y/o son loves the show, and so do all of his friends. I'm guessing that he is more of the market that the product is aimed at. jt (20 years ago, 3-Feb-06, to lugnet.market.theory, FTX)

Yeah, it puzzles me as well. However, both this and Exo-Force are very anime influenced, and so maybe that is the larger trend LEGO is trying to tap into. Maybe also these are part of a move to increase market share in Japan? Anyway, from the looks (...) (20 years ago, 3-Feb-06, to lugnet.market.theory, FTX)

I too hadn't heard of it, but of course, I don't follow such things...Saturday morning (...) (20 years ago, 3-Feb-06, to lugnet.market.theory, FTX)

(...) It's not random at all. TLC didn't have to go out of their way to pick up this property because it falls under the Nickelodeon license. And currently it is, IIRC, the number one primetime show for children 2-11. So while AFoLs may not have (...) (20 years ago, 3-Feb-06, to lugnet.market.theory, FTX)
