I just know I'm going to get flamed for this. I'm putting on my flame suit early. What follows are my opinions. Take them as you wish.

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 (20 years ago, 9-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)
