In the last few days, I’ve seen much discussion, and recevied many questions

year for the LEGO Company, for a number of reasons. Kjeld has retaken the
helm, and has said that we are returning to “our core”.
Rest assured, “our core” simply means our toy business. Which is to say, our
toy product lines present and future.
Thanks!

I read the press release at lego.com which said, “The LEGO Company will focus on
the fundamental product idea, as represented by the LEGO brick...,” which seems
to be in accordance with what you said about returning to your “core.” I also
remember that you said something in a post about the color change decisions
originating in Denmark. Is there any chance that the color change is one of
those bad decisions that LEGO will want to undo in 2004? I understand, of
course, if you can’t leak information about it. We all know that we have to be
patient about info on new things from LEGO. I was just wondering if the
LUGNET community might be able to get a heads-up on products/ideas that will be
done away with in 2004. (I assume there are some things that were considered
bad or unprofitable ideas that will just have to go.)
Thanks for the
update,
David “Fuzzy” Gregory
