all of its other product lines combined, but surprisingly, Mindstorms seem to
be out of favor at Lego. The Mindstorms line has been cut down to a
single set and Lego is not interested in marketing even that set. Lego has been in
a lot of financial trouble in recent times and its neglect of a product line
with solid sales potential might seem odd but this is not so. I have done an
analysis of Lego's Mindstorms options and my analysis indicates that Lego has
solid economic reasons for backing away from the Mindstorms line."

No wonder Lego is in financial trouble--Someone is stealing them all [slashdot.org]!

I'd also build little cities and find a rock full of pill bugs, and put the pill bugs in the city, and then totally go Godzilla on the place.
