Which part in there was lieing?

Just becasue you didn't like what happened, does not give you 'carte blanc'
to interpret the events the way you wish.

I don't care what happened as far as set numbers. What I do care about is
that this was presented as a "Limited Edition of 10,000". They then proceded
to break that promiss. What is your word worth?-Ken

Spin.

Stop it.

'They' did no such thing as 'break a promise'.

Fact--TLC had a limited quantity of Maersk Blue pellets and, with no contract
with Maersk at the time, as stated, they were not going to get anymore Maersk
Blue pellets to make more bricks

So of course it's limited due to the fact that they couldn't make anymore Maersk
Blue bricks--no promise, just a statement of fact based on all available info at
the time.

Then here comes Maersk with a new contract, stating that they'll supply the
Maersk Blue colour and wanting more boats.

Yeah, that certainly seems like it's really bad on TLC's part--to sign contracts
with a company that they've been doing business for many years to the mutual
advantage of both companies, as well as giving us real adults some very
exceptional sets to own.

Stop with the lying.  Stop with the spinning.  Stop spewing forth your slant of
what happened and look at what actually happened.

This is much like the following parable--

"Hey Ken, want to go to Vegas for the weekend?"

Ken, basing his trip on the contents of his wallet, makes this statement--
"No, I can't because I don't have the funds for a ticket"

Later...

"Hey Ken, I have a ticket to Vegas with your name on it--let's go!"

"No I can't go because I said earlier that I couldn't go.  The situation has
changed and now it doesn't matter if there's no money in my wallet to purchase
the ticket because you're giving me the ticket, but I can't go anyway because I
stated I couldn't go earlier and I never break my word."

Yeah, pretty much what you want TLC to do--you want them to adhere to business
decisions made using all available data at the time, even though stuff happened
later in the future.  Can we all have that crystal ball that you seem to have?

(...) I don't need anything to be interpreted. Anyone who knows me knows I am a man of my word. How about you?-Ken (19 years ago, 23-Dec-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.off-topic.debate)
