This is also mean good news for us as LEGO fans all over the world.
Great sales and profit means the LEGO group is in healthy financial.
Healthy financial means they can keep producing great toys for us.
Althought seem they will not lowered their product price, still we can hope for more great themes and sets to come.
The LEGO group also has heard and listen to AFOL in this last several years about their product designs.
In future, we'll hope the LEGO company can keep their performance.
Then LEGO will be always our number one toy.
