LEGO predicting 2003 sales losses

That’s too bad - it seemed to me like 2003 was a good year,
I certainly bought more than in a long time.

I can’t cite the cite at the moment but I seem to recall hearing that in the US, toy sales were projected to be down 7% overall for the holiday season, while electronics and gadgetry were up double digits. Could be a faulty memory though.

(here’s one from the NYT that projected 4% down... you may have to register to read it, not sure)
