I really don't think the drop in sales had anything to do with the color change, and if you do, you're not being honest with yourself. LEGO didn't publicize the color change, either positively or negatively, to the consumer-at-large (AFOLs don't (...) (20 years ago, 19-Nov-04, to lugnet.color, lugnet.lego, FTX)
