You’d think I would have learned my lesson by now about the color change and

I come to you with a final update, and some good news, as well as bad.

Bad news first – After much discussion and debate internally, the color change
will stand. There was some good thinking that went into the color change
(although, yes, the implementation fell flat), and as such we are going to stay
the course. I know this isn’t the answer you’re hoping for, and I know very very
well that many of you aren’t happy about this news.

Bah...  I'm simply leaning towards finding a different hobby to spend my money
on.  I've got enough bricks to continue to build for a while, but after that
maybe I'll just stop buying your products.  There are a few sets that I think
are pretty spiffy, but I've lost faith in TLC.

Time to start clearing those MISB sets out of my basement to make room for
something else.  <sigh>

My sentiments exactly. About 5 years ago I packed up my h0 layout, due to
time shortage and high cost. Right now LEGO is almost as expensive and I'll
have loads more time now that I won't be doing much MOC's anymore either.
