I have no need to misinterpert anything. I can read what jake posted on these
boards and words mean things. I read what Lego chose to publicly post.

They should have found a diffrent way to satisfy Maersk and keep their word to
the consumer at the same time. It would not have been a dificult thing to do.

Lego has stated many times that AFOL's are not a priority. I'm pretty sure
there's nothing I can say that would make that worse.

No words mean things....

What is disputable is the fact that you can tell your consumers anything you
want and the next week change your mind without consiquenses.

Glad to hear that however even though there are many who agree with me and even
though I have been personally called a liar in this thread, my asking of a moral
question has been determined to be "impuging" people and I am being threatened
through private e-mail that my posting rights are going to be revoked.

Or perhaps you should take a look at what actually happened and stop trying to
justify TLC actions no matter what.

It has nothing to do with what I like. Lugnet TOS demand that excess be trimed.

Exactly! Lego said we are choosing to market a limited edition set and then
changed their minds. You can twist it anyway you want but the fact is they took
back what they said. That would indeed be wrong both on a moral plane and wrong
when it comes to keeping a loyal customer base.-Ken
