No as I said this is only part of the puzzel. This decision on it's own would
mean nothing

Absolutly. You have to be making a lot of poor decisions to be loosing money for
as long as they have been.

While this is the view of the average AFOL it is not the view of the average
consumer. Parents find clones to be an excellent value. Many who grew up with
Lego would rather buy their kids Mega Bloks. Kids like the sets that Mega Blok
is putting out. I've personally witness a number of times a kid searching for a
particular set and choosing to leave empty handed rather than take the Legos.
There's no need to argue this I as an AFOL don't agree with them but that dosn't
change where there dollars are being spent.

In the world of AFOL's most things are rosey if you discount bley. However Lego
has mentioned we are insignifigant and they are failing worse with the general
public.

Except what I know is that Lego is by definition a failure as a company. That's
not even debatable. A company exists to make a profit. As for me if I promiss
something I still keep my word. Thank for asking.-Ken
