Yes, you are right, I didn't catch that part.  I guess it was so realistic I
did want or need to read any more.  :)

Still, I think you really have something here.  Seems a lot more logical
explanation to me than what has been officially provided so far.

Sorry everyone!

I wonder how much it costs them to assemble a focus group that will say • a

kids and adults get bored with is the fact that some of the new and

are available.

"Bigboote predicts that casual LEGO "maniacs" and collectors alike will
purchase multiple copies, if not
dozens, of the same set, in order to build the model in a single color."
So, this is the approach Lego has to take to get the sales numbers up. • If
we keep the colors ramdom then people will be forced to buy lots more • sets
if they hope to use the colors we decide to release.  What a low down
business practice this is.  With every new press release that comes out • of
these people I get closer and closer to dumping Lego all together.

A completely and thouroughly disgusted customer!

Greg,
You missed the words
"DISCLAIMER: The above is a parody. It is not true. I made it up."
I shudder to think what craziness is going to be posted on April 1st  :)
