Dear Sirs,
Whilst I accpet that perhaps your traget market has change, I was saddned
by the lines in the 1999 Christmas catalouge. This is not a rant but genuine
upset at the recent dumbing down of your product lines.
I am not annoyed by the recent sets, just very very upset. By the time I
had finsihed reading through the catalouge I was in tears! What on earth is
the Lego(R) logo doing on this I thought, it's not Lego(R).
Please halt the slide towards being like other clones which have no value and
which only allow the same things to be made time and time again.
For comparison I looked back at an earlier 1992 catalouge and was suprised at
how good Lego(R) was then.
Please,look back at what you did best and not try to be like other toy
manafcturers who manafacture only for the latest season or fad. I would hate
to see Lego(R) go down the same path as Meccano,Liverpool did in the 70's
(Where are they now?) with worse and worse sets getting tackier and tackier.
Lego(R) should be unique, encourage creativity and not have massive peices for
specfifc purposes. It's what makes it Lego(R)!!!
The Juniourization of parts I feel goes against this and makes Lego(R) like
any other genric consturuction toy. Some people may feel that it also stifles
children's creative and cognitive devlopment(Im no shrink so can't comment
further).
I apologise if this makes some of you feel uncomfortable but it needs to be
said.
