Hi Allen! I've spend 0 Euro for LEGO this year. Normally in the last years I usually spend 1200 Euro a year. And I will continue this, because I don't need nor want discoloured bricks. I have many hobbies and like many other AFOLs I use my money now (...) (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

Tim, you couldn't be more wrong. Lego as a company could satisfy me easily. Change back to the original grey and brown colors and move on. Correct the real problems with the company instead of changing things that are perfectly fine the way they (...) (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.lego.direct, 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.
