Instead of posting this message to all of the related threads, I decided to
start my own...
Ever since Jake announce the color change I've read about 100 messages whining
about how LEGO has betrayed the fans. I say it's the opposite. I think
everyone who's whining has betrayed LEGO.
Why do I say this? Well, 2 reason stick out in my mind:
1. I, and I would assume many others, look upon LEGO as an old friend. If an
old friend told me he was changing his look, I'd support him in his decision and
not criticise him for going against tradition
2. If you trely want to call yourself a creative modeller, you will find new
and inventive ways to incorporate these changes into you creations.
As you can see, whining get you nowhere. In fact, all the complaining lately
has contributed to a negative atmosphere for all of us. I say stop bellyacheing
and get back to makeing the amazing models I'm used to seeing.

| Thank you for your profound post and for sharing your considerable wisdom, Orion! Truly you are in the know. And how right you were to start your own thread. It would have been such a WASTE if your astute comment would have been buried under all (...) (21 years ago, 23-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)

| (...) Orion, I don't know what country you live in but here in the USA criticism is a god given right and "my old friend" has just desided to change it's color in order to sell more sets. We all know it's the darn color that is making people not buy (...) (21 years ago, 24-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)

| (...) Orion, Agreed. Whining, bellyaching, smart-alecking, name-calling, profaning, baiting, arguing, patronizing, and just general stupidity. Little eloquence. Little organized and gentle nudging of our friend to point out possible error. Much (...) (21 years ago, 25-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)
