Jake,
This change means that I will spend most of my money on Bricklink rather on
new sets. I will only be purchasing the original gray colors that match my
current collection. While my dollars won't make much of an impact on The
Lego Company, enough people with the same feelings will certainly make a
difference. I hope that TLC doesn't suffer as a result, since the company
has brought me hundreds of pleasant memories over the years.
This thought probably doesn't fall under your "rational" classification, so
you might want to take it out before you pass my thoughts on:
Aren't there better ways to compete with Mega Blok?
