Randall et al-
Ah, but what is “the good of the community”? Certainly “the community” is not
the same as LEGO’s core market. Our community is a niche of serious LEGO
builders, both kids and adults, who prize the value of the highly flexible, very
standardized, and high quality product called the “LEGO system”.
Many of us are concerned with the cumulative assault on “the system” from
juniorization, explosion of colors, quality control, retirement of basic colors,
attempts to find new markets, and other changes that LEGO has made. Prior to the
current uproar, we are told, it never occurred to TLC consider the impact of
changes to “the community”. So maybe we will never see light and dark gray
again, maybe we will, but either way TLC “officially” knows there are people out
here who are impacted by these choices. To me, that’s certainly been for “the
good of the community”.
