Good question. I did *MY* bit. My calculations show me that I bought better than
.5% of the total production run. That's right... Half a percent of the whole
run! I can't really afford it but I wanted that run to be successful. To send a
message to LEGO that the old colors mattered and that I appreciated the effort
Jake went to in getting them to us.
Who else bought enough to be noticed?
I'm not saying that everyone else has to do what I did. Maybe those parts aren't
right for you. I dunno. But I wonder, I really do.
