ill have to agree with you on the first part, but with the things getting
better, i really cant say at this time. with the downsizing and higher
expense of these newer sets, people might get turned off by them. if that
happens, Lego will loose profit. I also thinks that the Legends, Classic,
Trains, and Sculptures themes might be able to hold lego in the business and
regain lost profit from the newer sets-but barely. who knows, i could be
worng, but thats my opinion. joe
