Excellent idea John, can you imagine if our Founding Fathers had the same attitude as the people who've flamed you in this thread? We'd still be subjects of the English crown! -timewarp back to 1776- George Washington: We should defeat the redcoats (...) (22 years ago, 25-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, FTX)

snip (...) snip (...) C'Mon Jason... the simple fact he wanted to post it anonymously implies to me that he knew this idea was juvenile and probably not even worth our time...

(...) Since everyone is bashing John, I thought I'd offer a diferent point of view. At first read, I kinda like the idea. It MIGHT get the retailers to put pressure on LEGO. But then I think about the fact that it seems a little unethical to (...) (22 years ago, 25-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) You're purposely asking the wrong question. I believe there *was* a good deal of complaining when the (inferior) Jack Stone minifigs arrived and started replacing the older minifigs in some sets. When Lego replaces a standard with something (...) (22 years ago, 25-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)

Maybe a better idea would be to call up Consumer Affairs and complain about your sets. Then at least LEGO would get the message, as they probably wouldn't via the retailers. Kevin ---...--- Railroad Depot kit: (URL) TOWN PLANNING information: (URL) (...) (22 years ago, 25-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) I think you're missing the point. The general consensus, I believe, is that introducing new colours is acceptable. It's the REPLACING of one colour with a slightly different shade that's causing all this ruckus - especially when the colour(s) (...) (22 years ago, 25-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) A better idea is to goto the store and pop all the boxes... It'll take far less money, time and effort on your part. You won't even have to leave the store to do the same damage.
