Hello!


Good news – based on the discussions and debates, many colleagues are clear that
the color change dramatically affected the AFOLs. They are also clearly aware of
the reasons it has upset you. In order to help address some of your concerns,
several things have been agreed upon.

Fine. Becoming aware of something usually is a good first step into a better
direction.

...and ensuring issues like this don't happen again.

* The three new colors (light gray, dark gray, brown) will now be classified as
"universal", and these colors will NEVER be touched again. There will, of
course, be colors that change over time with trends, but not these universal
ones.

Yeah, great! We (the AFOLs) fight against those new colours and you (TLC) make
them even more solid and declare them made for eternity? Calling that "good
news" is sheer sneer, isn't it?

Only if you choose to view it that way. (I tend to be a "on the bright side...."
kind of guy) To me, this is the AFOLs saying something (we're upset that things
changed suddenly), and the company reacting ( locking these new colors so that
you feel confident that we aren't going to change them again, and never again,
will we make changes like this without AFOL input)

(...) It might be worth noting that this doesn't suggest that TLG will actually take AFOL input into consideration--merely that TLG won't make the change without AFOL input. The input might easily be ignored, but TLG can still claim to have accepted (...) (20 years ago, 5-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)

(...) But how can we trust those words, if you already broke those words, despite your corporate values and such? Sorry Jake, but apart from changing the stud dimension LEGO committed one of the worst mistakes any such company could make and it (...) (20 years ago, 5-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)
