It makes sense; I mean, why waste money promoting a game that's ending? Seriously? Even the build event isn't going to end? Now I'm mad I even wasted my time and money on that prop.... >:(Title: Re: Championship Event: Cannon Cove Shooting Gallery! Post by: MsRowdyRedhead on November 04, 2011, 04:50:04 pm BOOOOO.
Worst move LEGO has made.. just before Christmas. They could have sold a lot more sets promoting them in game. Title: Re: Championship Event: Cannon Cove Shooting Gallery! Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on November 05, 2011, 08:49:37 am I've gotta agree... That was the failest of fail moves they could have made... Would it really have hurt them to push it back about two months? Announce the cancellation in January; close it in March. That way, they have the option of gathering even more profit from the winter and Christmas rushes, when people in the target audience has more time, and also allow these contests to properly end.
