Sometimes, I wonder how come a Community Liaison can “forget” to tell us something as major as the color change in advance and still keep the respect of most of the community.

And then, someone tries to get simple answers from this Liaison guy and all he does is talk about how hard he tries, hos great hiw job at LEGO is, even though it’s tough at times, when people like me are unhappy with the way TLG treats us.

We complain about the fact that probably the biggest and more dramatic change wa snot told to us before it was to late and we get told that we complain for a simgle problem that wasn’t solved, although 4 millions other were, as if this problem was a simple error, a common mistake with little impact.

I know that you don’t want to hear that it wasn’t Jake’s fault... but that wasn’t Jake’s fault. He was just as blindsided by the color change as the rest of us, and so were most of TLC’s employees. Some of them still don’t know about it!

For whatever reason, the geniuses in Denmark didn’t think that the guy whose job it is to communicate with the public needed to be told about the color change. It’s hard (for me, anyway) to me mad at Jake just because he works for a company whose business model seems to be a chicken with it’s head cut off.

Why not do something useful and write to the new CEO at TLC (Jørgen Vig Knudstorp) and tell him how you feel about the color change? Or take the advice I gave you earlier in the thread and build a model for the LEGO Factory contest using only old colors. TLC is giving AFOLs a chance to dictate new sets - you’d be foolish not to take it.

(...) Oh well, I tried. I honestly tried to give it a chance, but seriously, how could I take this whole thing seriously after a post like this? I complain about the way The LEGO Company treats us and all you answer back is that you are working (...) (20 years ago, 19-Nov-04, to lugnet.lego, FTX)
