Matthew please cry me a river. I know Arizona needs more water. Give me a break.
We are still talking about the changes that Lego has done. I thought we were all
over this. However I guess the memo never got to you. If you don't want to build
any more that is fine with me and I am sure that it is fine with ever other
builder on this website. So I guess that means that you are not going to be seen
at any conventions, on Brickshelf, or posting anything else on lugnet. All I can
say is great. One less person on this website taking up storage space with their
complaints about the colors (take the blue pill and just go back), shapes (what
you want lego to be burgerking?) and designs (um welcome to the west Matthew, we
do change things, however I guess you didn't relize that everything changes, but
thing do stay the same).
Lego is changing, maybe not for the best, but if you don't change in todays work
place then you are going to fall. Give Lego, Lugnet, Builders all over the
world, and myself a break.
That is all I have to say.
