   On Fri, 14 May 1999 17:57:44 GMT, Todd Lehman uttered the following profundities... (...) Read in a European version of Newsweek, featuring TPM, that TLG's cost for the license was only $50M!! Cheap, no? (25 years ago, 30-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

   (...) No _way_!? The profit on SW Lego should already be in the several hundred millions, if my guess as to proportion of regular/SW sales is correct.. Jasper "then again, _Lucas_ had that kind of return on investment too.." Janssen (25 years ago, 1-Jun-99, to lugnet.starwars)

     On Tue, 1 Jun 1999 00:13:52 GMT, Jasper Janssen uttered the following profundities... (...) I wasn't able to read the article, unfortunately. I imagine that it would have said $50M plus (n)% profits in the finer print. (25 years ago, 1-Jun-99, to lugnet.starwars)

     (...) No. Actually the $50M IS the fee. Since TLG is not exactly riding a financial high this was a considerable outlay. (25 years ago, 2-Jun-99, to lugnet.starwars)

   (...) The SALES may be in the several hundred millions, but the PROFIT?? Hardly think so. For TLG to make several hundred million profit, net, would require sales in the several billions. Doubt it. (25 years ago, 2-Jun-99, to lugnet.starwars)
