I can tell you just by common sense that 3 and 5 won't be answered. I find it
silly that customers feel they deserve that type of info, especially put "we
need to know." How do you define that need? On what basis do you believe LEGO
*owes* you the information?
As for 1 and 2, they're biased/loaded questions which I wouldn't consider valid
if I were being asked.
4 is a legitimate concern, but also water under the bridge, so I see no point.
This isn't a trial.
6 is the only question I consider worth answering from this list, though it's
already been addressed and therefore ploughed ground. I gathered from Jake's
post that he was soliciting which parts to make in the old colors, and would get
back to us when a final decision was made.
I'm very, very tired of this topic being regurgitated over and over again. There
are no new arguments, a lot of nonsensical appeals, and mean-spirited or
personally attacking posts that have no business on LUGNET whatsoever.
For all of you who have serious complaints--consider your voices heard. In fact,
I don't think anyone could not notice. Now please, let's get back to the
positive aspects of the hobby. If you come back to say there isn't anything
postiive left after the change, say it once, and take that as your cue to leave
if you're just going to keep moaning.
.02 -- and my very personal opinion.
