(...) Yeah, the shortage of doors and windows is a whole different line of ranting. In other words, I agree with that part- the red door is out of place with all the other colors. But note that Red, Tan, Dark Red are all *warm* colors. (17 years ago, 11-May-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) No, it is you who misunderstood me. I get that you think the choice is marketing. I'm stating that due to significant graphic manipulation on LEGO packaging, and the limited (and usually in shadow) displays, that most parents and children (...) (17 years ago, 11-May-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)
