Yes, and when he found out it appears he made those internal calls and relayed
the information to us. The point I’m making is that I don’t see why Lego PD
would have to call up Jake to inform him every time a product change is made or
proposed. He doesn’t appear to occupy that sort of position at Lego. But I don’t
have to speak up for Jake’s actions, because he can do that for himself.

Changing a basic color that has been for generations cannot be classified as
nitpicking.

Again it’s all relative. To you and me it is significant - but for most of their
customers I really can’t see this being an issue.
| |
Even by LEGO’s estimates AFOLs are 5% of their clientel. That ads up to a
whole bunch more than the couple hundred that are active on Lugnet.
|
5% of customers, or 5% of revenue? And how many of those disappointed AFOLs are
actually going to quit the hobby or boycott Lego over this?
| |
The only reason these people in the know, don’t know is that they didn’t have
a clue the firestorm this would cause. They don’t know because they havn’t
decided the next step yet.
|
Again I think that’s somewhat relative. A firestorm on Lugnet is an ember in the
global market.
