If you're that disappointed with TLC then why not sell your stuff and find a
new hobby?
> 1. TLC doesn't release bricks for which they ACTUALLY have the molds in
> readiness:
But they do still release bricks, and they've realised their error of
judgement with Znap.
> 2. TLC doesn't make bricks they way they used to (and they should, of
course):
That's right. They're more durable now, and in more colours than ever.
> 3. TLC manufactures toy lines that are not a part of system:
True. Thank TLC for Mindstorms, the CDROM's....
> 4. TLC never delivered on the promise of "system", or "system within
system."
They have, and they've overdone it: town, space, blacktron, rockraiders,
adventurers.... the list goes on...
> 5. TLC doesn't really listen to us anyway.
Yes, they do. See Legends and Bulk.
> I have warned you before TLC -- only you can stop the horror!
No, you can stop your own horror. Nobody's twisting your arm to stick with
Lego.
A few more comments. I've just read the posting you refer to about system
within system. The analogy in that article is completely unfair. Yes, you
can go to a trainshop and buy any tree, house or car you might like.
Choosing from 27 different brands that is. If you include playmobil, Knex,
Mecano and al the Lego-rip-offs you've a much wider choice. If you want to
be loyal to a brand you're gonna have to live with what's on offer. And with
Lego I think you're not that bad of; They do listen. They might not follow
up on each and every request in these postings, but they couldn't if they
wanted to...
I'm not saying I appreciate everything that TLC produces. Personally I
couldn't care less if they cancelled the whole pirate/castle/adventure/etc.
theme. Give me Technic(including Mindstorms) and Model Team and I'm happy.
But who cares about my personal wishlist? Lego will have to produce for the
masses.
With all this I want to say three things:
* Tell TLC what you would like to see and why, and do so in a polite way.
I'm sure that would be more appreciated than your "Lego sucks and I'll tell
you why" attitude.
* Make realistic requests.
* If you don't like where Lego is going and you feel things are not gonna
change your way please lock yourself in a room with all the
things-used-to-be-better-parts you have and enjoy them, and stop annoying
the rest of us with pointless rants.
Duq, who's getting tired of this kind of ranting....

| (...) I don't like to speak for anyone else, so let me answer your question from my own perspective. Many of my recent posts have been similar in their critical nature, though more subdued in their tone. And the reason is simple. I am sick and tired (...)
