Well, the combination of non-adherence to advertised values of the
product and the legal endowment to return an item for refund if it does
not match previously promised core properties could really lead to a
case here (IMHO, IANAL).

At the end of the Day, it is propably all down to the Good Thinking(TM)
that is happening in the upper levels of a certain company all day and
night.

The only downturn for me is that now the set returnd in that ugly
baby-blue (my opinion, nobody is forced to share this), chances for the
dark blue version (which I would have bought for the dark red and blue,
despite the bley in the set, which means a lot!) are approaching zero.

Whatever you do, wether you bought ist or not, Lego managed to kick you
right into the face. Again. And don't come again telling me that I am oh
so negative of Lego. Events like this really leave no choice.

Yours, Christian

Hi all, 1) I would like to mention a fact to this issue, which might help to understand the annoyance of nearly all German AFOLs (here on LUGNET and on 1000steine.de (see: (URL)). In Germany, the set was actually announced as limited. The official (...) (19 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.lego, FTX) !
