Hello all, and thanks Jake for such a speedy response! It seems a majority of people (at least of those who posted) here are disappointed in this new direction Lego appears to be taking. And I can fully understand where they are coming from. But I (...) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, FTX)

In lugnet.general, Richard Marchetti wrote some colourful stuff. As a person who simply generally avoids .general because of its overzealous insistence on gentility and tepidity of expression, I must say this was refreshing. I've always had a love (...)

If you dare, write to them!!!! As I have seen, petition runs here on LUGNET. Many peole are thrilled some way. There is also feeling of betrayal and some craving that TLG doesn't listen to AFOL's alhough it's 5% of the market. If you dare, spend 80 (...)

Thanx to Jake for trying to clarify the situation. Though it's good to know that no changes are being made to the studs, it doesn't explain the obvious difference in the pictures shown. But I guess it'll take some time to investigate where the bad (...) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)
