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 Lego in the same year? For that matter, how many buy
their kids that much in their lifetime? Take a look at the response Jake
posted a few minutes ago. He had to "beg, borrowed, and pleaded to make
this happen". If this is the case then it is clear to me that Lego as a
company doesn't care or is too blind to see how important this issue is to
some fans of their products.

You know Spencer there is something VERY interesting to what you said here.
I would bet that AFOLS would be a hell of a lot better judge of what Lego
would be successful with than the management team they have or have had!
Just my opinion mind you, but one that I find very interesting. Something
to think about though....most AFOLS thought that Bionicle was a HUGE mistake
on Lego's part. However, the reality is that this product line has done
amazing things to keep their financials from being far worse. Cuious if
Bionicle never existed and AFOL type decisions were made with the direction
of Lego, would they ever have faced the financial decline they have
experienced?
