Lego to Manufacture In China

Lego has just inked a deal to Manufacture in China, a City near Shanghai, starting in 2017.

This will also act as a distribution point to all of Asia, (Hong Kong, China, Japan, Korea, Singapore, ect....)

You can look at it as "half full or half empty"

 

I think our selling margins to Asia will have a large impact.

 

But from a positive view, the demand and fans base would increase overnight.

We may get Regional sets that's not available to us. (The Year of the Dragon set) 

I actually think knockoffs would subside.

      One thing for sure, the quality of knock-off / bootleg lego will increase.   If they could make these with the current setup, imagine what would happen when most of the software and hardwa

    One thing that will happen, and probably has happened. (This thing is overlooked by Lego executives)  That China will 'adopt' the technology that LEGO bring in, and will start to "copy" the products. In my country, you can see at least 3-4 "lego" products with different names. Off course, the quality is bad. But who cares, if it's only for kid's plays. The LEGO will become an exclusive toys, and probably as a Collectible items only. If that's happens, well... IBM -Lenovo story will happen in a short time. which I hope not...
