OVER!
I think this is crucial. IF it's really so that there will be
not-quite-matching replacements for some of the standard colors, and IF the
new stud design is really less clutchy (and accurate?) than the current
design and propagates throughout the line... why then, the reasons to pay
more for LEGO vs a cheaper clone become fewer and LEGO will lose even more
of its market share to clone brands. That's a bad thing for us and for LEGO.
Here's hoping that the fears and rumors turn out to be less serious than we
think.
