Well, as it is they sell their products mainly to kids and they tend
to like video-games more then LEGO so LEGO has to be as much
video-game as they can to get to them. It seems.
My sisters son for example likes action men and other things like
digimon a lot more then LEGO. I've searched high and low for a new
Technic universal building set as a gift to him but they can't be
found :(
