THOSE MEDDLING HARRY POTTER BASTARDS!!! The entire line never sold really good anyway... WHY!??! WHYHAhAHAHY??!?!?

Actually that one was before my time, otherwise I wouldn't be allowed to talk about it even now. I heard about it from the lugnet crew. (Lugnet was a much different place back then.) Even when I was in the very bowels of Lego headquarters myself, Lugnet usually had a better idea of what was going on at Lego than the people around me, so they were my main source of news for a long time.

I think the HP line actually did really well. I never worked on any of the licensed themes myself, so I can't say for sure, but I seem to remember that the first couple years were a big success.

LOTR proooobably would have sold better. but yeah, HP totally fits the "i'm eight years old" group better. if not for better sales, then it's a better image for TLC.

So... Absolutely no chance you can give us some goody tidbits on stuff you worked on while at Lego? Not even a few tiny things? Or 5 fun facts... Or something? Please?

I think the whole NDA thing kinda shoots that idea in the head.

Well that's the direction Lego seems to be going now, so I'm happy.

Meh... Whatever happened to the good 'ol days when a knight could kill a knight. Now it's either rainbow knights killing nameless grunts or awesome knights killing nameless (ugly) grunts. At least the knights are cool nowadays. I miss man vs. man.

Man vs. man is immoral in the eyes of parents, which sucks. I would trade my legs for new classic castle.

I dunno about legs... I might want those. I might trade my some of my lesser body parts for classic castle/space, but I'm not so sure about my legs...

i dunno, then you'd get a cool wheelchair, or be like professor X and get a HOVERING ROBOT DEATH chair. i'm fairly certain it shot missiles.

I'm DOCTOR X and I have a nuclear powered one. And it shoots frikin' missiles.
