Problems is that if AFOL's took this approach, it would then be our fault
Lego continued to have a financial decline.  No doubt in my mind that is how
it would go down.  Clearly TLC has no intention of admitting the severity of
the color changes.

Maybe public events are what we need to do most.

As you said, LEGO is doing a rather poor job getting word out to the • public of
this color change.  I have told many of my cousin's kids if they buy a new • set
with grey bricks it might not match what they have.

Events give us AFOLs who do these shows the opportunity to tell the public • of
this screw up.  Right now, it appears only those who are on LUGNET and • similar
sites are making our opinions expressed to LEGO.  But as for that kid • looking at
the sets in a Target, TRU, wherever, he has no clue of this color change. • At
events or stores we can tell those kids (or better yet their parents!) • what they
will get if they buy that new set.

Someone has to educate the consumer and if it's not LEGO or us, who will • it be??

Adr.

(...) I wouldn't like to see TLC going down but, what else would it take to them to go back on this issue?? (Once they can't hear us...) Paulo Renato (20 years ago, 17-Feb-04, to lugnet.lego)
