Okay... plenty of words from the adult section of LUGNET, allow me to
repeat the expressions of one of my children with whom I have talked
about this issue.
My son, btw, is 17 now, and has been a *HUGE* LEGO fan for about a
decade. It was he who reintroduced me about 6 years ago to loving LEGO
in my now evidently advancing years. I told him about the color change,
and I advised him of the possibility of the change in stud shape when I
had read the first post about the subject here. And you know what he
said to me?
Colors don't matter to him one jot. He builds with what he has, and the
point for him is just to have fun, not to be pedantic about the issue.
That said, however, he absolutely _LOATHES_ MB's... and he has made
his feelings and reasons on this matter plain to me as well. But his
distaste for them rests solely on the fact that MB's just don't hold
together as well as LEGO blocks do. If MB's had as good interblock
cohesion as LEGO, he'd be just fine mixing and matching them (oooh, I
hear gasps of horror already). But of course, they don't... LEGO makes
a better quality product, and that is what has produced a brand loyalty
in him that I have no doubt will continue into the years when he has
kids of his own.
