You have no idea what's on their mind. 7 year olds do not think like you suppose. I think it is probably universal that (...) (20 years ago, 16-May-04, to lugnet.color, lugnet.off-topic.fun, FTX)

(...) The point is not about changing Barbie. The point is that the Mattel company doesn't have representatives in an online site for the adult Barbie fan community. The point is that only LEGO has Jake, and takes the adult fan seriously. --Bill. (20 years ago, 16-May-04, to lugnet.color, lugnet.off-topic.fun, FTX)

1. Thanks for the explanation. 2. Don't put it on yourself - I really think that the color change problem should have leapt out and bit everyone at Lego on the nose. The problem should have been that obvious. 3. Be that as it may, it's time to move (...) (20 years ago, 16-May-04, to lugnet.color, FTX)
