(...) [SNIP] (...) For myself, the color change isn't an issue when it comes to spending money on LEGO, whether it's S@H, retail, or BrickLink. My spending is actually up significantly, but more for personal reasons than anything external (like the (...) (22 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

Hi Dave, (...) because patents run out after 18 years, fortunately. (...) It's not, that's how patents are supposed to work. You get a monopoly for a certain time, and after that it's free for everybody. So if you want to keep competition at bay you (...) (22 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) I am another who is used to spending between $5000.00 - $10,000 a year on Sets and bulk ordering. Probably another $2000.00 or so on Bricklink. So far this year I have only ordered about $300.00 of old light gray bricks in bulk from S@H and (...) (22 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) It's a shame Lego is still ignoring the color question. I was drawen back into the hobby by the realism of the Santa Fe. This model would have looked absurd in blue grey. The ISD would be an absolute eye-sore in blue grey. Any new theme (...) (22 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general)
