You’re reinforcing my argument. No one thinks the color change is going to sell more sets to kids (1). It has certainly caused many AFOLs to decrease their purchases from TLC. So what was the point? And why not change back (since the kids won’t notice anyway)?

(1) Because as Jake McKee said:

If they have the products, it may take them a while to notice a difference. If they notice a difference, I’m not sure a large percentage will care.
