Really? You must've subscribed to lugnet.general kinda late then ;)

Yep, that's why many of us are acting this way. It's as if someone told
our old friend to jump off a bridge, and they did.

In the meantime, all the bricks we're used to using get much higher
in price.

Oh realy? Do you know something the rest of us don't?
Sorry, but the TLC is a big corporation, and they're in business to make
money. However, from both a marketing standpoint and a customer satisfaction
standpoint, this is a really bad idea.
It's hard to get back to model making when all the bricks you've been using
all of a sudden go up in price in the secondary market due to a sudden
discontinuation.
If you don't like reading all the "bellyaching," maybe you should either
delete the emails or not read lugnet.general for a while. I don't think this
is going away anytime soon.
