I mean, yes, LEGO does indeed care more about cheap marketing ploys now than
actually being concerned about fun back, say like about three or four years

a company, we become a piece of the machinery of that company.  When enough
like minded people or a single person gets enough stock of the company, then
we basically own the company.  A really brilliant person could then cause a
boycott and hurt the business of LEGO while at the same time own a lot of
stock in LEGO.  Of course, we could simply ask LEGO to be nice and allow the
classic themes to return but in the end, our voice counts.

of trying to keep so many different people happy.

This may sound like a weird question but, if Life on Mars is indeed a LEGO Space theme, why is it not any place in LEGO Space? Even a link would be nice, such as one to Star Wars. If Life on Mars does not fit into LEGO space, where does it fit into (...) (22 years ago, 16-Sep-02, to lugnet.space)
