Jack Stone seems to be a lot closer to playmobil than lego in my opinion.
I've bemoaned the quality of Lego system sets for some time now, and in the
past I've even said the sets were getting more like playmobil than lego in
that they can really only build one specific model with all of the
specialised parts they come with.
I certainly hope that this is just a new line of toys and not the future of
Lego sets.
I can't really justify berating Lego for innovation, especially now that
there is bulk brick ordering(BTW lego: Lets progress into the future of
letting us order specialised parts like ship hulls and castle walls!  How
about minifigs and period doors and windows; wings, canopies, and the like) Jon

Isn't anyone paying attention to what I had said? Jack Stone is intended to bridge the gap between DUPLO and LEGO - these kinds of sets ARE NOT replacing what you are used to seeing from LEGO System. (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2001)
