I must appologize for my poor choice of words. Obviously children are LEGO's
core market. That being said, to ingore even 5% of your market is a pretty
serious oversight. Do you really think that this colour change improved LEGO
sales? Do you think that any children have come running LEGO brand products
just to grab the new and improved greys? Mr. Vig Knudstorp's letter suggests
that the colour change has not yielded such an improvement.
The fact remains, this colour change was a mistake!
Later.
