Well, I can only speak for myself. The year is eleven months old and I can count
on two hands how many new sets I have bought. No multiple copies of one and the
same set, either. What I bought, however, are old-grey and old-brown parts from
pick-a-brick while they were available. Those won't be available for long so
next year I'll most likely be buying even less new LEGO.

So do I. It's sad to witness, though, TLC walking in the right direction with
the right leg (designer sets) but walking in the wrong direction with the left
leg at the same time (colour change) and thus tear apart the good of themselves.

I'm afraid you are right. But as long as those new colours are up many AFOLs
will be buying less of TLC's products than they did before no matter how much
TLC complains about their losses... Of course the number and the effect of
non-buying AFOLs is close to dispensable.

It's probably off-topic and I don't even know you so I don't ask what other
reasons you got not to read Lugnet (anymore).
