No. My primary goal is still to help Lego. I still build MOCs, I still
go to exhibitions with them, although I abstain from recommending it as
a good toy based on the current actions of this company.
I would be happy if Lego could announce something - anything that would
be worth commenting in a positive way.

Yes, from one point of view these things look promising, but my point is
that all these actions won't help those who own such a defective set,
and will be stuck with it (no, I don't have one, thanks to Lugnet).

Well, it boils down to the question: Is the Knight Bus as it is
currently sold (as they didn't even stop the sale!) a defective good?
If it is, it should be recalled, the purchasers should be refunded or
should get an improved version.
If it is not - as the Customer Support wants us to see it - all would be
well, and everybody should be happy.
I personally consider such a set defective, without the slightest doubt,
and I see the explanation of customer affairs as an attempt to get out
of this for free. Thats my opinion, and there is no need for you to
share it.

Yes, I admit that I tend to let my anger run quite freely in the last
weeks. If I would care less about the very idea of the Lego system, this
propably won't happen. Nonetheless, if you have a look at my posts,
there is a lot of truth in them, and I pick on the important points more
often than not. Ill spirited? Well, yes, I could follow the masses, of
which most have surrendered to the idea of a New Lego with all the
mistakes I pointed out. Have a look at their posts: "I am sick of this
discussion, although I liked the old colours better" pops up quite
frequently.
> I am sorry to say that but really, you're way out of line here, in my view.
A danish carpenter and toymaker once stated: "Only the best is good
enough". This test the Knight Bus and a lot of other things that
happened recently in this company won't pass (Yes, yes, the best is not
always affordable, etc, pp). This is what Lego was about, and what made
it the toy of the century. And this is what I liked and loved in tis
product, too. Thats what I stand up and fight for.
If that is out of line, well, then I should go.
Yours, Christian Treczoks
