Can we please stop with the 'another example of Lego's problems' already.  "Oh
my newly purchased Lego set had the instructions folded wrong!  Just another
example of Lego's problems!"

If you (general you, not directed at poster specifically) doesn't appreciate
something that TLC did, then say that--"I didn't appreciate the hook!  Maybe TLC
should reconsider using this other hook instead--in my opinion it would make a
better set overall for these specific reasons"

You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.  If someone started with "Oh,
another one of your problems is this!!" I'll tune you right out.  "What?  You
said something??"  (or do my Bobby DeN imitation--"You talkin' ta me??  There's
no one else here... you must be talkin' ta me...")

Anyway, when asking for something, it's usually better to phrase it as a polite
request than in an accusatory manner.

But that's my humble opinion.

Lego doesn't deserve to get respect from any people. People have said polite
things over the course of the years and Lego is just not listening. Drastic
measures should be taken!!! I agree with the other people...why did Lego ruin a
perfectly wicked truck with a stupid Bionicle hook!!! I too hope that Lego would
actually almost be on the the verge of bankruptcy so they could release what
stupid mistakes they are making. They have released some nice sets in 2004...but
yet again...one of their problems...they just have to ruin them by making more
specialized parts (World City...Bionicle...etc.), changing colours, adding
skin-toned mini-figs and all of these things
What's wrong with sticking with the old-fashioned Lego???!!!!
