Hi,
Big thanks - I'm giving you 5 of 5 points for telling us the reasons. 1
of 5 points for it taking too long, though.
I just hope that the persons which invented and approved these changes
were already fired. Removing the backward compatibility of >30years old
established system, on 2nd, 7th and 9th most used colors is not just a
'human mistake'. Change for a change is always bad.
I just don't think that 'one thing that Design Lab was unaware of was
the incredible impact on the AFOLs' is true. They were unaware of the
impact on _SYSTEM_ or worse, they haven't cared.
It's possible that SYSTEM means something different to LEGO today. With
emergence of Bionicle, Znap2 (new studless Technic) and Galidor which
are (mainly) non-SYSTEM (each to a different degree, of course) it seems
like it's true.
I don't like to sound that pessimistic, LEGO is still capable of doing
wonderful things (the Designer/Inventor sets), even some newer colors
(tan) and parts (all those new slopes and wedges) are great. But there
are moves I really don't understand (replacing hinges with biiig and
ugly click-hinges, for example).
