I was thinking about this earlier. Jake just needs to shut-up. Whenever he starts
talking, it seems to get him (and TLC) into trouble.
Imagine if he had never said anything about the Maersk ship. People would not have
expected it to become a collectable. They would have just bought it because it's
cool.
Personally, I feel bad for him, but I'm glad he's gone through so much effort to
give us fans a peek into that huge company.
I continue to cling to a couple statements he made at Brickfest: 1) Mindstorms is
NOT dead. 2) The future of Mindstorms is NOT the 2.0
Of course, if he's lying to us about that, like everything else, I say we string him
up, and poke him with Bionacle swords.
