And to those who would rather we get over the color issue... get over the fact that it is not something a lot of us are going to get over easily, or maybe even ever. It cut deep and it hurt.

I hate to point this out to you, but if you’re hurt by something you claim to enjoy, that’s not a hobby - that’s a fetish.

   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.

What? ‘Deep wounds’? You need a new hobby. This one’s a threat to your health.

   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...

Some of us would prefer you put the adult into AFOL and get over it.
