(...) I'm going to make some big fat frothing assumptions here and try to "explain" Jorgen's comment - at least from my position in the company. This is meant as nothing more than a helpful hint as to this particular situation (and a bit of "Jake's (...) (20 years ago, 22-Feb-05, to lugnet.color, FTX) !

(...) I think you are misreading. My impression (from what I read) was that Jorgen found it dispiriting that however good a model he designed, there would be people that didn't like it simply because it was bley. Not, as you seem to have read it, (...) (20 years ago, 22-Feb-05, to lugnet.color)

(...) I am certainly overanalyzing this paraphrase of what was most likely an offhand remark, but I find this remark puzzling. What part of the fan base would be set off by returning to the old colors? I do recall seeing a small handful of posts of (...) (20 years ago, 22-Feb-05, to lugnet.color)

(...) Yes. Obviously! Why wouldn't it be? They said they're not changing back. (the preLEGO pics from the Times Square TRU PaB... that's all new light grey near as I could tell) As I commented somewhere else, this set is going to make those that (...) (20 years ago, 20-Feb-05, to lugnet.color)

(...) Perhaps the sarcasm warning light was still on for that particular suggestion(1), but if it was not, *I* would suggest caution about posting color stuff to lugnet.fun... one would be well served to carefully examine the charter and make sure (...) (20 years ago, 13-Feb-05, to lugnet.color)

(...) Dear Dave, what is so hard to understand about this (sarcasm warning lights on!): You know, there are these focus groups and they tested the new stuff hard on kids and those kids LOVED the new bright colours so unbelievable hard.... This is (...) (20 years ago, 13-Feb-05, to lugnet.color)

(...) I have the same opinion you do. I was only *mildly* annoyed to see him talking about 'it' again, that's all. He even put it in his MOC post. Anyways, I'd rather not discuss this any further, as you mentioned when I pointed to Todd's 'Blay on' (...) (20 years ago, 9-Feb-05, to lugnet.color, FTX)
