Hello again Ben, Yes.....those are good reasons. And another thing, TLC has a pretty (how should I say?) obvious problem when it comes to "ordinary life" in most themes. Town has most of the "ordinary life" (or at least the old kits) but many types (...) (22 years ago, 16-May-03, to lugnet.western)

(...) I would also like more "ordinary life" sets. But you have to look at the history of the company. They know what works. What I find amazing about TLC is how little things have changed in the last 25 years. For example new "NASA" sets are coming (...) (22 years ago, 16-May-03, to lugnet.western)

(...) Yes, I know that. Though some sets are too darn simple (e.g. Town Jr. Bank #6566 and 5850 Royal Crystal Palace....AAAIIIEEE!), they make pretty good facades (take set 7418: Scorpion Palace) and contraptions like trapdoors, yes, ESPECIALLY (...)

Actually, for a company as large as LEGO is, I'm surprised that they diversify into less profitable areas as much as they do (Legends, USC, Bulk, Mosaics). (...) <snip> (...)
