Dear Lego,
Last week I gave my 12 year old daughter 2 of the new Harry Potter sets. She was
not aware of the gray changes, it just hadn't come up. What follows is an
account of her exact words.
Happy to get the new sets, she dumped them out on the table. Her face changed
to a confused expression and she said HUUH? What's this?
I said What?
She said, This gray, it's different, it looks wierd or something.
So I told her that Lego is making this new color now and left it at that.
She said, This is dumb, I don't like these grays, it's too blue and besides,
how's it posed to match all my other Harry Potter sets? I wish I could tell
Lego this is dumb.
She said, I really like Buckbeak, but he'd be a lot better if he was the same as
they used to make. I don't want these sets Mommy, you keep them.
Thank you,
Melanie

| (...) Doesn't matter what she said. I don't think Lego includes girls in their target audience for building sets anymore. They've got the dolls for them. You bought the wrong set. (21 years ago, 9-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

| Sadly, I think the LEGO Group is ignoring our pleas completely, hiding behind a "test group" result that makes no sense to justify this STUPID move. Did I ever say ther color change and people who did it were STUPID? STUPID!STUPID!STUPID...STUPID!STU (21 years ago, 9-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

| (...) Very noteworthy Mel, My children and I don't talk the meat and potatoes of collecting or toys in general either. This topic is something that I generally don't enter into with them, or recall ever having brought up around them. Interestingly, (...) (21 years ago, 10-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)
