What is FUT?
I don't want to take the topic anywhere. It's not even a debate. LEGO imposed
a dumb decision made on poor judgement to us, buyers of many thousands of $ of
LEGO parts every year, and they don't listen to our pleas to change the colors
back. There is nothing to discuss. It's stupid, end of dicussion. If someone
can PROVE me wrong, go ahead, I'll be interested in knowing in what way changing
good colors to ugly bluish colors that look like it's made of recuperated platic
(I don't think it is, but it does look like it to me) is good for the LEGO
Company.
Hehe. BTW, it was a rethorical question... I know I've said it quite a few
times. It might no be very constructive, but since I have believed from the
beginning that the decision wouldn't change, whatever we would do, I think I was
right all along. Whatever Jake tells us, and I'm sure he's not a liar, I don't
think the discussions were ever about changing back, but rather how to shut us
down. Some of the people here are happy with a few scraps (the parts that will
be available in bulk packs), but I think it's not enough and I won't swallow
that pill.
Hey, most people seem to think like I do. Whether they would say it the way I
say it or not isn't the point here. The point is we think it's stupid. There's
nothing wrong in expressing how you feel about the color change, even if it's in
a way some people won't like. So say it with me, I think it's stupid too.
There. Didn't it feel good?
