Dirk,
Are you *sure* your an *adult* fan of LEGO? I don't doubt the "fan of LEGO"
part, but I do seriously question the adult part.
Are you saying you are more loyal than me? I'm sure not going anywhere. More
colors mean more options.
I invite you to look for another hobby, rather than Jake looking for another
job.
You need to understand the Jake has no control over what is happening. He is
not in a position to make any decisions. He can report what we fans say, and
report what the decision makers decide. To attack him because you do not like
the decisions made by the decision makers is breaking one of those basic life
lessons: "Don't shoot the messenger".
Your post shows a distinct lack of maturity. I thought I was intense, but
you've got me beat by a long shot.
Feel free to send me all your lego when you give up the hobby. I'll pay for
the shipping.
I'm an american that speaks his mind. Maybe that is the bull headed german
that I got from my Grandma Hoffman, or maybe that is my short tempered isrish
blood from Grandpa Clague.

Hi Kevin,
I like your direct style!
Yes I am an adult, and I'm mature. But no longer a fan of LEGO.
It was not my intention to annoy any AFOL!
Sorry, if this was a result of my postings!
Then it even would have been better not to write a single line.
I will take your invitation for another hobby.
Yesterday I have realized that I should stop now.
I didn`t pick a brick for playing now for nearly half a year (with the
exception of some hours on a saturday in March).
The one and only reason is the colour change. I don't trust LEGO anymore.
And I will no longer indirectly support LEGO by presenting MOCs in the
Internet or in public meetings. But this was the most funny part of the
hobby.
For my next hobby I will make sure, that there is a second source!
Yes, I will put all my bricks to my storage - thanks to Jeff for the correct
translation ;-)
No I will not sell them. May in some weeks, some months, some years or some
decades,
LEGO comes back with the old (before 2004) colours and concepts.
Then - maybe - I will be prepared to return.
But I don`t see this.
My quote was alway "I don't sell (my) LEGO". This is now the motto of LEGO?
Then about Jake. I could not agree to what he was writing. He takes me for a
ride (correct translation for "verarschen" ? - Jeff?).
"Universal colours" - "they will stay forever". Bullshit!
I really had a good time in the last years as an AFOL. Really enjoyed the
meetings. But as always you have to know when to stop.
Maybe I should have stopped two days ago?!
If anybody is interested in my photos on brickshelf I shot in the LEGOLAND
parks and on several meetings, be quick! I will delete this unwanted LEGO
advertising in the next weeks to save space on Kevin M. Loch`s server!
Thanxs for listening to me.
The bricks stopped rolling for me.

Thanks Dirk.
Enjoy your hibernation and I hope you find your new hobby relaxing, enjoyable
