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.

I just want to make one thing clear. Merely because I have a gripe about a particular decision made by TLC, that doesn’t mean I am throwing the proverbial baby out with the bathwater. I love LEGO bricks, and I have a high regard for LEGO as a company. I think it is the best “toy” on earth and that ever was created. I think the world would be a better place if more kids grew up playing with LEGO instead of much of the other things that kids do today. I could go on and on singing the praises of LEGO. I believe in the LEGO System and I am not afraid to steer anyone into the fold.

Hi John,

I wasn’t actually referring to you personally... more the continuous TLC-bashing I’ve seen from some people, and not just on this subject. Makes you wonder why some people bother frequenting LUGNET, or buying LEGO, at all, if they dislike the company so much. An aside would be, “How can you enjoy building with LEGO bricks if you can’t respect TLC in some way?” But that’s a completely different topic. :)

Kelly
