What I was implying is that most customers probably won’t be missing the old
colors. Who knows, maybe the new colors were shown to be very popular in their
studies?

Ok, so maybe this is not a statistically significant sample base, but this is
certainly anecdotal evidence that the AFOL market is a significant factor in
LEGO’s overall sales numbers. I welcome anyone who reads this to provide
your own analysis, whether it supports or contradicts my findings.

I don’t think anyone outside of Lego (or even inside too) can say exactly how
significant the AFOL market is, but the more important question is how does this
actually impact their sales? And that I don’t know, although I suspect it’s far,

I’ve seen the Lugnet poll, and while it shows that a majority of people here are
disappointed, only 5 people are threatening to give up the hobby. Nearly the
same number voted that they liked the new colors and wouldn’t miss the old ones
at all. Incidentally I didn’t vote, since I couldn’t find an appropriate choice
for myself.
