Dear René,

thanks for bringing these postings into the debate. 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.


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
fact, browsing your wonderful site I read your position about that issue and I
have to tell you I fully agree with you.

That said, regarding this Maersk Ship issue I don't feel betrayed or like a
'promise' has been broken -- I see an oportunity for TLC to make money and an
oportunity for all of those people who wanted to buy this ship and didn't buy it
yet. I only think it is bad for the collectors or/and the moneymakers. But then
again, even if between two bads, I think tLC hadn't many choices and choosed the
less bad one. (Do you think they should say NO to Maersk company Ben? Put
yourself in their shoes.)

Now, it would be BAD if Lego cancels the release of the dark blue version. That
I would regard as a broken promise. Still, we have to wait to see, since it is
not confirmed yet.

Anyway, since the bley happenings I lost all my faith in TLC.

Please keep voicing your concerns, you and all of you german fellows (and all
the people in the world, of course), I enjoy very much reading your posts --
wether I'm or am not 100% agreed with you, but I think you always spread some
fresh air around here.

Best regards,
Paulo-Renato
