Let me flame you nontheless. No, it’s not a band-aid. It’s the proof that LEGO knows that the AFOL community is unhappy and it’s a shameless attempt to shut us down (up?). It’s also a shameless attempt at making more cash as these bulk packs are in limited numbers, so I suspect that they will go very fast and then, you will probably announce that due to the success of the sale, LEGO has decided to produce more, and so on, until in 2005 or 2006, LEGO gets tired of us and decides to go back to the non-ugly colors or stay the same, forcing us to find alternative solutions.

I’m disgusted by the attitude of TLG in this issue. For the first time in my LEGO life, I’m considering boycotting your products.

I’m pissed off real bad.
