Could it be you just lack .. dedication?

I don’t think so.

   Changing the color palette is no minor thing. It opens a can of worms. It is outrageous and a sound reason for becoming emotional. If you’re really dedicated, that is.

If you are really emotional, that is.

   If you don’t feel that way, you probably haven’t spent enough time with your hobby, with sorting and storing parts and creating models.

I dare say that I have spent more hours sorting, more hours creating MOCs, created more MOCs, and spent more money on LEGO than 99% of AFOLs. Dedication is not the issue. Perspective is.

   I’m still feeling like I’ve been knocked over by THE LEGO GROUP (damn them). But at least YOU can feel soo civilized by just saying “*ouch* well thank you dear LEGO ...” and walking away.

It would take TLC’s going out of business for me to react as you are.
