Lego reports worst losses in company history, dumps Mindstorms

"COPENHAGEN, Denmark -- Danish toy maker Lego said Thursday it was expecting a $237.6 million pretax loss, the worst in the privately held company's 72-year history."

One of the casualties of the losses will apparently be Mindstorms, dammit. Better buy some now because once they are not available they will be worth a mint on eBay (not too mention they are cool as hell to play with).

For more see the linked article (from which the quote above was taken).

Oh, if only I had purchased some Mindstorms from a friend (with the laughable and mistaken thought that I'd have much more time to invest in them than said friend would) for a paltry sum, then I'd have potential ebay fodder like such the world has never seen.

Oh, nevermind, I did.

I couldn't decide if I was rubbing it in or making fun my foolhardy attempt to find the time to play^H^H^H^Hwork with them.
