You obviously don’t really understand the issue and the deep wounds it has
caused a lot of us. Some things take a long time to heal, and I for one am
not sure I will ever be buying new legos again. I’ve lost so much respect for
the company that what they are now just legos - not some brand.
So to those who are willing to “blay on”, more power to you. I’m sure you
will have fun with your new Mearsk Ship, Blue Fury and glaring Harry Potter
and Spiderman sets. And someday if I ever get out of my grey ages and want
those sets maybe you can make some money selling me your spares. But in the
meantime I’m going to go sulk for a while longer...

Matt-
I can certainly agree with you!
As a collector and builder for 28 years, this is certainly a setback for me. In
my opinion, I feel it’s more difficult for those who are younger, and/or may not
have the appreciation for the history of previous product “standards” within
TLC.
On a side note, I certainly appreciate Jake’s efforts to get as much of the
previous color genre product available to the market prior to it’s demise. I am
hoping that TLC will be accomodating and continue providing these “superceded”
colors for us nostalgiacs.
(sigh) Oh well...
:-)
