If you wanted a Lego gun, you made it out of blocks. So, in addition to the points above, the niche Lego products are made possible by change in the nature of the use of Lego. Now it is all about the specialized kits and not so much about inventing your own ways to use the blocks.

Your words have restored this old man's hope for a "future" that is bright. You help me envision a "new normal" where the average citizen actually casts an "informed vote", and where individuals step forward to embrace personal responsibility rather than avoid it! THANK YOU.
