Ranting does have its place in the world, but (...) (21 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

Steven makes an excellent point here. The Bionicle hook could not be more out of place. It looks ridiculous on an otherwise nice looking design/model. As for the color issue, I will beat that dead horse a bit more. There is a significant quantity of (...) (21 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

Dear Lego I think you've made a big mistake on the new crane truck using a bionicle hook rather than the metal Technic hook that already exists. (URL) spoil the look of a set for the sake of one part? Seem's to me like just another example of Lego's (...) (21 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Even the hardcore Star Wars LEGO fans are undecided about the Lando fig being "realistic" and not yellow. I like like the fact that minifigs are free of race and any move to change that only hurts the brand. LEGO has lost their focus. They can (...)

Having seen the "new" grays for the first time, I'm not that annoyed with the "light" gray color. The variation is "cooler" than the old light gray but not that different. Just as older light grays exposed to sunlight take on a slightly "yellowish" (...) (21 years ago, 4-Feb-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Well, I would assume this-- what else would motivate change?
