Hi David, (...)

(...) For one thing, you're mistaking LEGO's efforts to grow a segment of their market with "influence." For another, it's NOT still a possibility. Jake has stated in no uncertain terms that the new colors are permanent. And the company has invested (...) (20 years ago, 20-Jan-05, to lugnet.color, lugnet.dear-lego)
