Lego said this was the "last chance" to buy Maersk blue and there would only be
14k sets with 10k availible publicly via SHO. These FACTS are irrifutable as
they were published on these very boards.

Yes, LEGO said that. But some people are confusing a "statement of fact" with a
"promise". They are different.

You are of course welcome to continue to fervently believe LEGO lied to you, and
to continue to believe that all statements by the company are promises that must
not be changed regardless of circumstance. But it seems to me that anyone doing
so is setting themselves up for disappointment, as - in the real world -
circumstances often do change. This will not be the last time LEGO changes a
business decision. I just hope that the next time ("when" and not "if") LEGO
announces a minor business decision change, we won't see this level of acrimony
inside the community.
