I don't think anyone is accusing Jake and LEGO Direct of lying. But Jake can
only tell us what he knows. He was completely in the dark about the color change
when it happened. Who knows if Denmark is giving him the real story now?
The best evidence for TLC making up the children's focus group excuse is the
fact that TLC was still, to this day, not made any announcement to the general
public about the color replacement. Sure, they let us AFOLs know (after the
fact) but as they love to tell us, we are only 5% of the market. Why aren't they
telling the other 95% about these new, improved colors? Why isn't there a
sticker on every box, and a big feature in the catalog and on the website?
