(...) 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 (...) (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.shopping)

As you may have seen in this thread: (URL) the limited production run -- 10,000 bags each -- of the classic grey, dark grey, and brown parts packs is now available at (URL). I know that these packs aren't necessarily a great deal compared to what (...) (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.market.shopping) !!

(...) Well said, Will. Although I don't spend as much as you (maybe 50% of your spending amounts), I agree with you on all points. I'll buy the sets with the original colours, but once they're gone, no more retail purchases for me. The upcoming (...) (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) 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?

(...) lol think "cutting off your nose to spite your face" (...) Why? Buy (positively reinforcement) the old color packs, and ignore any of the new colored ones. What could be more logical? JOHN (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.shopping, FTX)

(...) Huh? So are you saying you were able to get 15% off the $4.99 price of the mixed light grey bulk packs? I had 50 of these in my cart, plus 15 bulk 2x4 black plates. The black plates came up as 15% off, but the grey bricks' price remained (...) (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.shopping, FTX)

(...) 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?).

autowhat? Hmmmmmmm, no idea. If I thought that for one second Lego would see the significance of them selling out in 1 hour then I would agree with you.
