Being a relative moralist, I judge by intent. Lego’s intent was to give us
as much as they could of the remaining Maersk blue. Because they wanted to
make money from us. If they could’ve found a way to make more without
spending additional money on Maersk blue at the time, they would’ve. Their
intent was NOT to make a limited collector’s item. All of a sudden, presto,
they got their wish. Their intent never changed.

The end justifies the means?

How did you get “ends justify the means” out of that? Wouldn’t “ends justify the
means” imply that it was their intent all along to lie to us? Isn’t that
precisely NOT what I said?
| |
| |
If their intent before had been to make a very-limited-quantity set, just to
watch us fall all over each other grabbing for sets, and now they decided to
make a second run to try it again, then yeah, I’d be on your side. Although
admittedly not as vehemently as you seem to be.
|
If their intent wasn’t so then why did they present it as so?
|
They didn’t. You seem to think they did, though. I admit they made a mistake in
that one statement where they said it was our last chance to buy Maersk blue.
But I’m capable of forgiving an innocent mistake. Are you?

If this wasn’t part of a trend I have nothing to say. I find the color a
curiosity, nothing I love. Nor am I an investor. The only stake I have in it
is the over-all picture.-Ken

So fight the trend, not this. Fight the problems, don’t nitpick where it doesn’t
help.
