How have people felt over the years with Star Wars sets? Haven't some been better than others?
I wonder if Lego might just be testing the waters with the first batch. That if they get enough support whether we will see more improvements in additional sets.
I am a little let down by a couple of them, but I want to get them all anyway. Maybe I am too hopeful.
On the other hand, Lego is releasing a ton of new sets in both old and new themes this year. Maybe they are spreading themselves too thin? "Like butter, scraped over too much bread."
Star Wars has gone "viral". I think that's the way I want to put it...But you get the idea - that license has just gone CRAZY. While some sets don't deliver like others do, the license as a whole has done amazing things for Lego.
LOTR is unique. I don't thing younger children recognize it like they do Star Wars. I could come up with some long description as to why I feel one way or another, but I can't really put it into words. It's hard to say how well it will do, but you make a point regarding them testing the waters with this theme. It's a huge acquisition for Lego that's for sure, so I'm sure they won't screw it up!
