Isn't it though? It seems to me that Lego can produce whatever it likes, and
I'll either buy it or not. These extra colours just seem like more flexibility
to detail models. And I do believe that Lego would not have tooled up for the
change had there not been some business sense behind it.
So no sense of betrayal, disregard or conspiracy at all. Yet again Lego leaves
Australia out of is mainstream activities. In a global world, you'd think that
they'd do better...
And I'd love to catch up.
I saw the new Harry Potter sets at Myers yesterday, and as not a HP fan, I have
to say they were impressive looking sets.
