What the heck are you nuts?! Keep in mind that the first three year of the Gen 1 Technic oriented “golden age” was even more sucessful! Yes it is also very sucessful now but still not as much as it was. It still can be that sucessful later on I really hope so but how could you tell that it wasn’t doing well?! What about 2002?
About CCBS, sure I don’t expect miracles like ending it now but if you would have listened before I said “some years later” because Lego is now coming up with new pieces more often or do you want to keep on clipping shells on a bone and calling it a day?
Plus The Technic line is one of the most sucessful line of the Lego! No wonder why they made a video about Kopaka and ninjago including Technic. Sure it was for marketing but it was for Technic’s marketing! If you noticed every other theme was in the background in the video while they highlighted Technic while they tried to made it funny.
