I’ve wondered about this for quite some time now...is that 5% supposed to be by straight head-count, or by total dollar sales? If it’s by the head, then we should be accounting for a rather hefty chunk of their gross income.

Pretty sure that’s sales. AFOL’s probably number in the 10’s of thousands at most, and child customers probably number in the 10’s of millions. Assuming that guess is even moderately accurate, that’d put each AFOL buying enough annually to account for about 20 kids’ annual purchases. I guess that’s not an overly outlandish guess-- I woulda guessed offhand that each AFOL accounts for about between 10 and 50 kids, but that’s still well within a factor of 10.

If it were 5% by head-count, I’d guess we were between 30% and 70% of their sales, and that’d be just crazy.

(...) And they'd be doing everything we ask for, instead of just doing a lot of the things we ask for. (Pick-a-Brick, bulk packs, Legends, etc...) JohnG, GMLTC (20 years ago, 20-Jul-04, to lugnet.market.theory, FTX)
