Hi Jojo,

<Eric said:>
With all due respect I don't think the color change had much if any real
effect on sales.


<Jojo replied:>
Well, I can only speak for myself. The year is eleven months old and I can count
on two hands how many new sets I have bought.


Similar here. I didn't buy a single new set this year. All I bought so far was
multiple copies of old (pre 2004) sets and old-colour bricks at BL and Lego S@H.

On the sunny side, my CD collection grew up considerably this year -- 1000+ CDs
--  just the money I didn't spend on Lego. True.

Hey, but as you rightly say Jojo, the effect of that on TLC rounds up to zero,
so TLC doesn't need to bother. At least I don't. Not anymore.

And for the record, universal-till-god-knows-when colors is just another silly
pill that I'm not going to swallow. (GREAT!, they are not changing white!
Woooow! Thanks TLC!, you really think of us! I was wrong then, but now I see.
How could I - unfair me - think for a second that you didn't even care?!)

Ok, back to lurking now.

(...) I wonder did you buy any sets of assorted classic grey bricks from S@H, which are still available, months after being announced? Oh wait, no that's just a ruse by TLC to try to appease the AFOLs and make some money at the same time. ROSCO (20 years ago, 20-Nov-04, to lugnet.color, lugnet.lego)

Hello! (...) Well, I can only speak for myself. The year is eleven months old and I can count on two hands how many new sets I have bought. No multiple copies of one and the same set, either. What I bought, however, are old-grey and old-brown parts (...) (20 years ago, 19-Nov-04, to lugnet.color, lugnet.lego)
