Let’s do this; let’s write this letter, get some signatures, and get the
letter into Mr. Knudstorp’s hands. Who is willing to help? This may be
our last chance, but it’s in fact a good chance!

I would sign such a letter. My skills at English, however, are not good
enough to write it, though. Let alone my skills at Danish...

Does it NEED to be in Danish? English, like it or not, is the language of
business, and the CEO of a company as large as LEGO, even one as insular as
LEGO is, ought to be able to read, speak, and write English at least fairly
fluently.
That said, I *would* sign such a petition, because it’s a statement of
preference, and I certainly personally prefer the older greys and browns to
the new ones by a wide margin.
I am not entirely convinced the color change was the wrong decision, when
viewed from a global perspective. We just don’t have the facts to know that
and are not likely to get them. But that doesn’t mean we can’t state our
preferences politely and respectfully, and make our case why we think it was
the wrong decision and why it ought to be changed.
I don’t have the resources to organize such an effort, but I certainly would
sign. It will be interesting to see if those who are most vocal and strident
about how badly the color change have hurt them will step up and organise
this.
XFUT to just .color and I would appreciate it if everyone else did as well,
thanks.

English speaking cross-overs from Germany and Japan have implied the reaction
was the same in their own language Lego forems as it was here. How much more of
the globe wold you like? I would hope he could be hit with a letter in every
language of every major market they are in.-Ken
