If LEGO were cheaper would you still buy clones?

Probably not. Bulk blocks would need to be a lot cheaper.

So, in essence then, it is a price issue.

Is it that you have something against TLG the company?

Goodness. Why is it that some Americans have this bizarre ‘Either you agree
with me in every way, or you’re against me’ thing going. This is something I
don’t get. Maybe you can help me with that.
|
I could try. Frame your query over in OT.D and I’ll take a swing.
| |
No, I have nothing against TLG, and I am flummoxed by your baselessly
asserting that I do, just because I don’t only buy Lego. I am a big fan of
the company, and don’t understand why my ridiculously large collection of
Lego should count for nought because I buy MB from time to time.
|
I didn’t say you had something against TLG, I asked if you did. Further, I
didn’t count your collection for nought, either. I’m just of a particular
mindset and I’m trying to understand those whose sets are different (such as
you)

And while we’re about it, no, I am not, nor have I ever been, a member of the
Communist Party.

Methinks he doth protest too much, but I digress;-)
| |
Disturbingly, I have in the past found, and continue to
find, the Manifesto of the Communist Party by Marx and Engels (1872), a very
interesting and worthy read. You might assert that I have something against
democracy, property, and personal wealth? You would be wrong there too.
|
Equality is a great idea WRT rights, but a terrible idea WRT wealth. That about
sums it up for me.
| |
| |
Is it something else I’ve missed?
|
Only the fun themes.
| |
Help this “purist” understand your strange ways.
|

WTH???

Ahhh ‘purists’. More of this unnecessary ‘them’ and ‘us’. Sadly I am seldom
much use to purists. I find we have some pretty cataclysmically fundamental
differences about the intrinsic value of their ‘purity’, and my accepting my
inferior, ‘impure’ status. Sorry about that.
|
Well, Richard, you might find it interesting to learn that I have joined the
ranks (BIG time, $$$ wise) of the impure (which is why I used “” when I said
“this purist”)
In any event, please understand that I didn’t come here with the intent on
pushing various colored buttons! :-)
