I did an interview with the head of Lego global online marketing last week. Hope to get to share it. We spent a great deal of time off camera discussing the PowerMiners. They are very much into making mining a "cool" play time idea.

So... if the marketing takes off, it is a good summer to get the kiddies on the mine tours, just like Thomas gets them on the rails.
