(...) I think the estimate is about 5% of sales are due to AFOL consumption, and far fewer than 5% of Lego customers are AFOL's, since AFOL's spend a disproportionate amount on Lego compared to the average consumer.

This letter is offensive in that it attempts to usurp the label AFOL and turn it into a special interest group with a particular agenda. Not all AFOL's agree with the postitions taken and by implying they do this letter is deceitful. If I wrote a (...) (20 years ago, 19-Jan-05, to lugnet.color, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)
