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.

Justin,

I for sure would like *you* to put the adult into AFOL and get over that some people can’t get over it!

Who are you anyway? The Guardian of The TRUTH? The Mighty Wisdom Incarnated in thy Man? What’s your problem man? And who are you to categorize other people choices and wills? Who are you to say that Matthew hobby is not a hobby, but a fetish; that he needs another hobby and insinuate that he might not be an Adult? Who are you?

No, don’t need your answer. I know perfeclty who you are. I know you well, indeed. And that’s why i’m ashamed for being human now and then.

Please grow up, will you?

Paulo Renato

P.S. - Sorry to the rest of you for my post. This guy got me on my (usually calmed down) nerves. I can’t stand this kind of pretense superiority and this kind of i-tell-you-what-to-do-because-i’m-an-adult-and-you’re-not.

I'm someone who is annoyed by the fact that some people claim severe emotional distress due to a well-thought-out and rational adult decision to change old mud gray colors to a brighter, less-prone-to-fading set of gray colors.
