I agree. I hope LEGO doesn't start creating movie themed LEGO. I am very happy
with my Star Wars LEGO, but creating movie themed LEGO is not really in the
spirit of LEGO. Instead of chasing down cultural icons to copy I hope LEGO will
put the same amount of skill into the whole LEGO line that they put into the Star
Wars line. Maybe the amount of adult sales for the Star Wars toys will wake up
LEGO and make them realize that well designed sets appeal to children and adults
(imagine that two markets one toy...)
