To LUGNET users:
For the past 7 months I have heard too much about the color issues. It is time
to put the issue behind us and move on for the good of the community. Sometimes
I think that all of you forgot that this is a toy. A toy for kids that we are so
lucky to get to play with. If you HATE the change so much sell your LEGO®.
LEGO® WILL NOT change back. So stop crying like a little school girl who just
scraped her knee. I’ve seen all the rants, cartoons, and stupid little form
letters to send to Jake. Give the man a rest. Better yet tell him thank you.
To Jake:
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

| (...) Randall et al- Ah, but what is "the good of the community"? Certainly "the community" is not the same as LEGO's core market. Our community is a niche of serious LEGO builders, both kids and adults, who prize the value of the highly flexible, (...) (20 years ago, 14-Jul-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| After the recent LEGO bashing that has gone on on LUGNET since the color debacle a while back, I was ready to recind my membership. I'm glag other people are Fed UP!!!!!!! and saying so. All I can say is that LUGNET is one of the primary sites for (...) (20 years ago, 14-Jul-04, to lugnet.general)

| Lego is the best damn toy ever made, and it will remian so, no matter how many colors they change! Ranting about this is like the stupid FCC trying to censor stuff on the radio and in music. If it offends you, then don't listen. If you don't like (...) (20 years ago, 14-Jul-04, to lugnet.general)

| Lego is not "just" a toy. But it is a toy. Lego is sold and marketed as a toy to children and adults who are buying toys for their children. It competes with other toys for shelf space in the toy department, and is sold in the price range typical (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jul-04, to lugnet.general) !!

| Hey, you know, if we have some more "Fed UP!!!!" people on both sides of the issue, spotlight a few more topics in the thread, we can have the entire LUGNET spotlight cluttered with this. It already takes up 4/10 of it, so why not a little more. (...) (20 years ago, 17-Jul-04, to lugnet.general) !
