well, i weathered the color change, & lego ultra-juniorization/B.U.R.P etc.
garbage, but this might break it for me.  Lego, you darn well better absolutely
NOT use slave labor & conditions!!!! (although that's probably what they're
counting on to cut costs by going to china.  I don't wanna hear about poor
abused children being forced into making one of the best toys invented FOR
children.  way to go Lego, you really tick me off.

Yes all that and now the possibity that MegaBlocks and Lego being made in the
same manufacturing plant.  They'll just take the better ones and put them in the
"Lego" bin with the poorer ones going to the other knock offs.

I'm just shocked...I can't even begin to say what this means to me....other than
I guess the market for old Lego collections will just continue to go through the
roof. <sigh>

When will it ever end?
