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.
