Speaking of places LEGO should be, I just got back from a holiday at Kitty
Hawk, NC. The whole place is all abuzz about the upcoming centenial of
flight... all the stores had something with the wright brother's plane on
it... And on the shelves were Best-Lock wright brother planes :-/
They were little bitty sets, like $10. And they just looked cheap... But
they were everywhere down there, and no where to be found was the LEGO
Wright Flyer...
Big potential market being missed there. Sad. And its not cost, I saw a
couple buy a _very_ expensive Wright Flyer kite just to hang in their
living room... I bet they would have bought a LEGO kit...
oh well
