Paul - Also, what's your thoughts on dinosaurs? The Mattel Jurassic World and Camp Cretaceous stuff? I dipped my toe into these unknown waters this summer and just started selling this week - and they've gone. It's the retired products that simply fly.
Red Herring - I'd like to ask if you would be interested in featuring my unique LEGO IDEAS submission "BASEMENT & SEWERAGE" in a video on your YouTube channel? The project has already gained more than 4,600 supporters.
Alden - Hi, I’m new to investing in LEGO, and I am wondering what your stance is on the wooden minifigure as an investment. I know it is about to retire in a few days, and I was wondering if you believe that this is a bullish set or if you believe it will remain static.
