Can I have a HUGE round of applause for Dave here? This sounds like someone who loves LEGO, but at the same time, also understands that LEGO is trying to do what it can to get sales from a larger market--in light of many companies who have grown (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jul-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) Well, I was more or less responding to your bit on the fact that you thought Lego seemed to think kids were stupid and needed to be spoon fed. However, I suppose the color change and the set design issues are related to what I'm talking about. (...) (22 years ago, 9-Jul-04, to lugnet.general)
