(via YouTube by channelintel)The concept is simple, we've all been there - LEGO is a wonderful toy, allowing kids to unfurl their imagination & creativity - but the boxes with LEGO inside are only so detailed - they are simply 2 dimensional pictures. So, the quandary is: How to you get a better appreciation for how the final project would look? Sure, a store could have some of the models assembled, but some stores could have as many as 200 LEGO projects on sale. Not only is that a lot of shelf space (which then displaces space for merchandise), but there also the cost & time for the store to assemble the pieces that eat into a store's profitability. And customers still won't be able to see it in "full" 3 Dimensions because the store will likely have to put it behind glass so that people don't pick it up every day, thereby risking breakage or the losing of pieces.
