For all who might hear:
In a recent talk with a very nice (and honest) person at Customs Service, this
person told me that the major reason for this color change was to match Mega
Blocks colors, because kids were enjoying Mega Blocks stuff a lot and, all
because of their colors. (!)
It seems to me that this person doesn't realize: 1) that this is a so stupid
move from TLC (once you can't beat them, so join them?); 2) what it does mean
to an AFOL. (I for one, feel it like a betray.)
I don't know what to say anymore. Except that i'm not supporting Lego nomore on
the TRU aisles; that i will not buy new products and, as i said long before, i
predict next color to move will be white for sure. Only to match MB white.
Now, lets take a look to MB catalog again...
