Mr. Knudstorp may not even be aware that the color change has occurred, or why the change was so upsetting to the AFOL community. In fact, he may not yet even know that the AFOL community exists at all. This letter could serve a variety of useful purposes.

Hardly anyone on this planet is truly unreachable. I am convinced that we could get a well-worded, respectful letter into Mr. Knudstorp’s hands. It would be even better if we could attach a petition to it, with several dozen or maybe 50 names. Unfortunately, I honestly do not have the time to organize this endeavor and synthesize the letter.

		Re: Customer petition?
Hi Jake, There was the suggestion of a petition to the company and someone mentioned petitioning parents. One thing that came to my mind is trying to collect signatures at or around the Legoland theme parks and Lego retail stores. I imagine that (...)

		Color change: Let's go straight to the CEO!
About a year has passed since we learned of TLG's terrible decision to "improve" the gray, dark gray, and brown colors. Our initial (and ongoing) firestorm was unsuccessful at reversing the change, and with Jake's recent "locked-color" post (URL), (...)
