I believe that most of us AFOL's will be able to adjust eventually. After all,
if we all love the hobby, what choice do we really have. I for one will try not
to complain to much(WAAAAAAAHHHH). But there is no way I am going to switch to
MB or quit the hobby all together just because of a color change. I will adjust,
I will buy the new colors, and I will build with it. I enjoy this hobby to much,
and literally spent tens of thousands of dollars to just say no. And I have only
been at this hobby for less than 2 years.
I realize that a lot of people can't spend the amounts of money some of us do on
this stuff, but if you truely love this hobby, DON'T GIVE UP ON IT!!
And now if you will all excuse me, my wallet has just burst into flames in my
back pocket.
