Agreed.
Sorry, Orion, I can't appreciate a sarcastic tone belittling
what for the large-scale builders is an *extremely* serious
issue. You may not find it so, but trust me, if you own 500lb.
of dark grey, it is *very* serious indeed, so I want it to be
placed before the Lego folks at every conceiveable opportunity.
I have already had to explain the color change to my sister and
a cousin who asked if I knew anything about "the quality problem"
with their new LEGO bricks.
This is going to give LEGO a black eye--and it will be the worst
kind, the kind that won't be immediately apparent because it is
a simple black eye of confidence and brand perception that may not
garner direct complaints but will damage satisfaction and kids'
enjoyment of the product. You'd be surprised at how unhappy a lot
of kids are when things don't match quite right--it's why my
niece and nephew like building with their Duplo more than with
their MegaBloks.
Oh, and some non-kids aren't happy about mismatches either. :)
