So I'm saying something.  I'm stating, for me and me alone, TLC, do what's best
for your market share.  Do what's best for your integrity,  Do what's best to
further the company as a whole for the years to come.

And if there are some people in the AFOL community that balk, just remember that
some of these people are the same people who thought that Bionicle was the "end
of civilization".

I'll continue to appreciate whay you have done for me and my hobby.

God bless that. Unfortunatly they are on a down hill path. This is undeniable,
even TLC knows it. Nothing they have done so far has been able to turn it
around. Possibly because they have failed to see the problems? At any rate if
and when the downward slide is reversed I'll have nothing bad to say.-Ken

Ken, I don't see how fair-weather AFOL posts like the above do anything to help
TLC or improve the hobby for anyone. Kicking someone when they're down is
impolite at best; and I'm sure you've heard the phrase "part of the solution or
part of the problem."

Fair weather? We are not talking about a sports team who lost one game and may
win tomorrow. The company is in crissis. Ignoring this is foolish. They have yet
to see or admit to the problem(s) at hand. TLC's stated goal for fisal year '05
was to break even. I stated at the time that any company setting a goal so low
was bound to fall short. They are well on their way to making this a reality as
they had a poor Christmas. (Mega Blok on the other hand did quite well)

As for "kicking when they are down" and "part of the problem..." The best way to
help Lego fail would be to ignore the problem and not let them know you are
disatified. -Ken
