I'd like to ask if LEGO will sponsor the Collosal Castle Contest this year!

Also - this is edging on future plans - if LEGO is testing the waters for a mythological/historical market with the Vikings theme.

Haha! I'm sure Jake is willing. I will probably put off asking this until we're ready for the contest ;). But I like the spirit behind this! :)

I'm trying to think how to re-phrase this question without making it about future products. I'm not having much success.

Hopefully everyone understands why LEGO can't discuss these things at all - they are at a cut-throat competition with MegaBloks and other clone brands. If MegaBloks can figure out what LEGO is doing before LEGO has a chance to do it, MB can rush items into production and cut into LEGO's profit margins. They did this pretty well with MegaBlok's 'Nano' line. And keep in mind, people from MegaBloks read our site - if LEGO were to confirm something with us, they'd be giving MB an inside track.

So to return to the question - Bloody Jay, if you can try to rework the question to be less about future products somehow, I'd be happy to ask Jake. In fact, I'll be trying to figure out a reworking myself!

It as been moved by Bloody Jay and seconded for TLC to sponsor CCC3. Is there any discussion?

Are you ready for the Question?

All those in favor of TLC sponsoring CCC3 will vote in the regular manner.

All those opposed, same manner.

This motion has passed. :wink:

Ok, attempt one at rephrasing:

'Has LEGO realized there is a market for a mythological/historical theme with the recent release of the 'Vikings' line?'

Also, and this is even further into the 'future products' question area:

'Are Dino Attack and more importantly Vikings one-shot themes, or is there a possibility that these lines might be continued in the future?'

Here's a question for Jake: What are some of the changes, for good and for bad, that you see coming from the sales of shares in the theme parks?
