However I must say I'm glad it's not Fools' Day 2008, this site was a mess with all the "jokes". Looked like a spammer took over the website, glad to not see that this year.

It's surprising that there was not already a site dedicated to the theme; good move, FBTB. Like many AFOLs it was the Power Miners line that brought me out of my post-teenage dark ages.

April 1st is probably the whole reason for this, but I await April 2nd for the truth! Does anyone notice that the motto has changed to “Yanking part #208c01 since early April 2008!”?

Everyone knows that the power of the force is nothing compared to the awesome power of light green bricks. What is a lightsaber when held to dynamite? Stormtroopers have nothing to impress us with after the release of the rock monsters in all their green, red, blue, and golden glory! And besides, Star Wars gave us oversized wheels for thrusters, Power Miners gave us Giant impressive thrusters for Wheels! How could this possibly be a prank?

Power Miners is fresh and new, and so much more substantial than SW. If only I picked a less "themed" screen name. :-/ We just finally got to the point where we realized it was time to “grow up” and away from Star Wars, considering the main focus of the current line is kids (most sets are from the terrible, terrible Star Wars cartoon out right now).

Wow, honestly?

Star Wars is dead, or as it pertains to the older and more "mature" FOL community. And apparently this older community is who FBTB is trying to market towards. And in this particular instance [if this isn't a joke], I agree with Shmails. However, this is just my small opinion, and I'm not going to try and control your action, Nannan. Good post.
