The new direction Lego has taken may just save the company, but yet, at what
cost? The ideals of the past gave relevance to the notions that Military (guns)
and Mortality (graves) were not the ethics the company was founded upon
What compromise is this?
...unfortunately, its a realistic one!
But the new gun-heavy Dino line, and darker-realism of Harry Potter are a
solution to a juniorization trend. Albeit a drastic one, yet nevertheless
something better perhaps.
The grittiness of Vikings, and the ghoulishness of the grave corpse/zombie are
truly a wake up call to the world
TLG has seemingly chosen to evolve.
And it seems that under a new directors management, Lego has finally grown up.
This is an interesting ride
