Dang. You’re right. Thanks James, sarcasm it is definitely! But wouldn’t you
agree on how ironic the whole situation is? How set sale numbers of LEGO dropped
like a stone, despite the wonderful new colors?
Well, I suppose bad Knight’s Kingdom castle sets with blue, red and yellow
“knights” helped hurting sales pretty well, too. Sometimes I really wonder what

And while I’m on it beating the dead horse by still being pi$$ed about the color

only as long as the current generation of executives manages to hold on to their
jobs. Does anyone really expect a new management (always in need of product
improvements and new ideas) to honor this “locked colors” table ..?

LEGO didn't publicize the color change, either positively or negatively, to the consumer-at-large (AFOLs don't (...) (20 years ago, 19-Nov-04, to lugnet.color, lugnet.lego, FTX)
