Actually, I’m not being that magnanamous. I don’t like the color change and
if ranting or anything else might get it reversed I will rant.
My point was rather that I can’t understand why people are questioning that
TLC’s reasons as given by Jake are anything but the true reasons. And I
certainly don’t approve of us giving Jake a harder time than we already do.
I have every reason to think that Jake’s unique position at TLC as an
advocate for the serious LEGO builder (I personally dislike the term AFOL) is
as much due to Jake working to get the company to create the position as to
being selected for the job. It’s not a matter of not “shooting the messenger”
but more of not shooting our best and only friend while he’s trying to help
us.

As much as I’d like to agree, I guess that if Jake likes the new color and the
new Minifig flesh heads, then he should have asked for someone else to do the
job, since he can’t defend an opinion he doesn’t share as well as his own
position.
I’m not saying he should have resigned, but maybe he failed to make TLG truly
understand just how terrible this decision was? Well, I think he failed to do
it, since they didn’t take the time to listen to us properly. My point here is
not about blaming Jake, but I do not necessarily think he did good. He did ok
to make the decision stick and people here tame their opinion. that wasn’t my
expectations.

| It's past time to get beyond debating the "why" of the color change (and especially haranguing Jake about it). I don't see any reason not to take Jake and the TLC at their word that the new colors work better with the core market at point of sale: (...)
