How much is a 3 minute spot on a local morning newscast (in Detroit, say),

in action, worth? I'd venture it's "worth" more than the total margin on sales
to all the AFOLs (overt or sleeper or whatever) in Michigan (say) for a week (or
even a month), in terms of building brand awareness.

Certainly. Three minutes of free TV advertising isn't cheap in any market - even
Detroit hehe. But I have to wonder if our train shows really have a positive
effect on Lego sales. No doubt people love the layouts, but on some level I
think it can be kind of deflating/intimidating to see our huge detailed layout
and then later sit down at home with a catalog and find out that it'll cost $160
just to get a Lego train that just runs around a simple circle. I don't know.
It's just a theory...
