The problem doesn’t lie within the community it lies within the company.
Proof of this is that they are dumbfounded as to why with all of their
efforts they are still loosing money.
I missed The whole Marsk debate but let’s face it anouncing to the world that
you are producing something as a limited edition and then saying you changed
your mind for whatever reason is by definition dishonest.

I promised myself I wouldn’t continue fanning the flames here, but I couldn’t
resist one more...
The gist of the complaints against TLC I’m hearing is they’ve made a business
decision that “changed” from an earlier “promise” (neither of which I think is
true, but there you are). Although the viewpoints are different, the one thing
that’s fairly common is that some people are upset LEGO has changed something.
But if LEGO never changed anything, we’d all still be buying this.
Or we’d still be using tubeless CA bricks. Or we’d have six colors.
I’m sure the LEGO-bashers will have a field day with this. Have at.

Lego refuses to listen to anyone wether AFOL or casulal consumer. Until they
figure out that they don’t know everything things will get worse.

ROFL. Absolutely not true, from my own experience. LEGO has solicited opinions
in various areas and actually followed the suggestions when they made sense.
And there you have Lesson #1 on Why Sweeping Statements Can Come Back To Bite
You On The Butt.

It could come sooner than later. Gi Joe was once king, yet as all action
figures fade away at some point so did Joe. Bionical is no diffrent. Bionicle
is propping up much of Lego. Joe has made somewhat of a come back. The
question is then will Lego still be around when the Bionicle kids start
feeling nostalgic?
|
Even though the Bionicle team has 21 years worth of storyline mapped out (we’re
currently in the second of seven 3-year cycles), it’s clearly a fad, and I’d be
very surprised if Bionicle lasted that long. Yes, it’s definitely carrying the
product lines that don’t sell as much, but that’ll change, I’m sure. The
question is, will anything else emerge to replace Bionicle’s sales at that time,
or will cheap and inferior Chinese-produced competition, bad management
decisions, and/or continuing sales slumps (possibly caused in part by
disaffected AFOLs) torpedo the company?
I’d like to think LEGO will pull through, and I’ll do what I can to help that.
Like not trashing the company every single chance I get.
