The point is that the only reason parents buy junk like Galidor
when there are much cheaper toys that do pretty similar things is
that these have "LEGO" written on them - and we have this enduring
memory that LEGO==Educational - so it must be good for our kids to
have it.
As soon as that association is broken - in some future generation,
Lego is out of business.
