But when else has Lego been known to put large amounts of effort into something kids are going to throw away 20 minutes after buying the product? Isn't that an Adobe font anyway? If anyone here with Photoshop (or Illustrator, or Pagemaker) wants to try comparing the fonts to the symbols on the poster, you might have some luck. Looks almost like Webdings or one of the other (2-3) symbol fonts that end with a W or Z.
