(...) You're serious? As I understand it, Jake and other folks went to a lot of trouble to get this to happen for the community, and you'd like people not to buy them? Well that's certainly one option, I guess, but it's not one I think is (...) (20 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.shopping)

Yes Larry, I am absolutely serious. Everyone has to take the color change situation in their own way. For me personally, Lego corporate can take the old color bulk packs and cram them.........well, you get the idea. My support for Lego, as a (...)

(...) It sounds to me that they are going out of their way on this to help AFOLs specifically. And that is significant. (...) Would you like to present your business case for this? Got the financials to back you up? I still don't understand this (...) (20 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) You are certainly entitled to see it this way, I just don't agree with you. As I said, I completely believe this is a desperation attempt not to offend any more AFOL's than they already have. Heck, how many parents buy their kids 20K worth of (...) (20 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Unfortunately, LEGO doesn't have decent competition. We all know how terrible "LEGO Compatable" blocks really are.

(...) <snip> Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than I can step in here if necessary, but I seem to recall that changing Coke made consumers realize how much they treasured it.

(...) While this may be true, the "loyal" customers left Coke only because there were alternatives that wern't as vile as New Coke. Pepsi did quite well after New Coke came out.
