Facts are: LEGO gave a promise and broke it (because they think they can generate profit out of this decision). Fact number 2 is: lots of people do not care at all about this (and those are often enough ok with bley and other controverse decisions as well) - as far as I can see it. Now I do wonder: WHAT EXACTELY has TLC to do to make these people criticize the companies decisions? Change to metric system and make the brick size 1 cm instead of 0.8 cm? This is a question I really have at the hard core fans of TLC: What could make you unsure in your fanatic love to the company and their decisions? I was not to happy about studless technic beams. I was slighly fed up about doorless cars of town junior. I am somewhat fed up about drastically decreased quality. I am really fed up about bley. I think galidor and Znap were flops. I am fed up about the explanation given for bley. I dislike the pigtone minifigs. I disklike the too many tank-vehicles of the LEGO police. I am fed up about lies (I see no difference between a broken promise and a lie). Could be continued.... But more interesting: what would fed up YOU (especially if you are still a 100% supporter of TLC)?! Kind Regards, Ben

(...) To be honest, I could care less about what the company does. This is a hobby for me. What this means is that I refuse to let anything LEGO stress me out. In other words, I'll praise the company when they do something I like and ignore (...) (19 years ago, 21-Dec-04, to lugnet.lego)

(...) Fact # 1: I have yet to see anyone produce the "PROMISE" that TLC gave. Fact # 2: I am one of those who IS very upset with the change to the colors. I have not spent one penny on new sets, nor will I any time soon. Old sets and parts will be (...) (19 years ago, 21-Dec-04, to lugnet.lego)

(...) Wrong. TLC stated that they had old Maersk Blue pellets and 'wouldn't it be nice to give the AFOL a really cool set and use up the pellets at the same time'. Why should that negate future contracts? It was a business decision made at the time (...) (19 years ago, 21-Dec-04, to lugnet.lego)

(...) surely 0.8 cm is as metric as 1cm? Tim (19 years ago, 21-Dec-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Hey Ben, I think you know my feelings about crap bley and all of those silly excuses surrounding it. As you might have read elsewhere I didn't buy any new sets this year (except for bulk bricks at S@H), so you may have a clue of how I feel. In (...) (19 years ago, 22-Dec-04, to lugnet.lego)

		Re: 10152 Update: What has TLC to do to bring YOU up against them?
(...) Since LEGO is a private company, they can do anything they want. If LEGO decided to now make automotive parts or kitchen utensils or print newspapers there is nothing we can say as fans of the brick to make them change their mind. The LEGO (...) (19 years ago, 23-Dec-04, to lugnet.lego)

		Re: 10152 Update
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) !
