| | | | (...) I love the comics. I think they are well drawn and cute. They can really help to get the point across about adults and LEGO. The megaBlXXks one was very funny. I am, however, rather offended that the artist feels it funny to joke about the (...) (21 years ago, 26-Feb-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.org, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) I never made fun of people who are concerned about the colour change issue. I point out the problems, and then end it with a funny punchline that certainly doesn't mock or belittle the character who is annoyed by the colour change. I can't see (...)

| | | | | | (...) Oh, give me a break. People taking this, or for that matter ANY, issue *so* seriously is starting to make me rethink *my* wanting to be a part of this HOBBY. This HOBBY with TOYS. --SteveR (21 years ago, 26-Feb-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.org, FTX)

| | | | | | | (...) Well, sure -- that's exactly why it hits so hard. If something's just a "day job", and some bureaucratic change causes disruption, one can easily shrug and say, "oh well, it's not like it's anything that *matters*". But seriously disrupt (...)

| | | | | | | (...) LEGO is a major matter to me. However, building with LEGO is all about the limitations. If I was out to make the absolute best, most detailed, accurate model of something, why not do it from scratch? Kit-bashing, soldering, etc... So, now I (...)

| | | | | | (...) I was also concerned that the comic might portray our feelings about the color change in an unfavorable light. But after reading it, I was very grateful for the message that it conveyed to TLC employees: Lots of us are angry about the color (...)

| | | | | | | | | | | | Re: AFOLs - The comic! —David Laswell
| | | | | | (...) As something that was intended primarily for an audience within The LEGO Company, I think it was entirely appropriate. There have been a lot of rabid rants on this subject, and they'll get ignored pretty quickly as soon as it's obvious what (...)

| | | | | | (...) You are right. The colour change is not a joking issue. Some of the reactions to it, on the other hand, certainly are! (...) LOL.

| | | | | (...) It is obviously me... Sigh. I didn't 'understand' the part where these comics were for the internal employees of LEGO. That would make the colour change statements as hints that the AFOLS don't like the colour change... and that's a good (...) (21 years ago, 28-Feb-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.org, FTX)
