OK, now you're making the assertion too, and just as unsupportedly. Granted
that LEGO originally released this set with multiple names in english
speaking countries... they apparently have now decided to use just one. What
makes your statement "correctly called a 'Dark Shark'" true?
LEGO can call things what they want, when they want, and whatever they *say*
is correct *is* correct, aussie whinging about it notwithstanding. It's
their product after all. Who are you (or I) to say what's correct and what
isn't?
By making this assertion, you're supporting Ben's
anti-everyone-except-australia ranting. Which is too bad, really, as it's a
wasted effort on his part.
