Clone Brands - are you listening?
If LEGO do abandon model trains altogether (save for some token intergalactic
attempts at wheeled ICBMs) then the natural course of events will lead to
supply=demand. If the basic principal of the element-built model is as good as
our support suggests then it's only a matter of time....and the weaker Lego
become in this field the more chance there is of a good quality competitor
sneaking in.
As has been stated on other threads, you only have to look at how much shelf
space the likes of TRU are giving clone brands. Personally I would like the
future to stay with Lego but market forces will of course prevail.
