I don't think I'm a "friend of LEGO" anymore.
I was one of the biggest boosters they had, encouraging friends into the
hobby and moderating their official online forums. I stuck with them for a
long time, even buying sets that were clearly inferior in the hopes of
showing support for Technics/Mindstorms to encourage future products. What
I've seen instead is a steady decline in the quantity and quality of
available Technics/Mindstorms kits, and an upswing on their various
movie-themed lines and non-brick products like games.
LEGO got plenty of my money and plenty of my time. If they want any more
they're going to have to earn it.
Issac.

Those kids have to be customers or at least potential customers for Mindstorms/Technic. Maybe they are not part of the mass market (...) (22 years ago, 14-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics)
