Perhaps the reason for the color change. I still cannot believe that they did a scientific study of what kids like best. Most kids would probably say doesn’t matter. I really feel that the quality is going down hill. I have over 7000 sets and and extra 535,000 parts. I hadn’t noticed this problem until I put together some newer sets, which I have not done for over 4 years. The change is there and it is obivious.

I’m pretty sure that Lego bricks aren’t made in China, only certain extra stuff. I have to say that I very much resent the implication here that stuff made in China or the Czech Republic will be inferior. I would hope you would keep such implicitly bigoted comments to yourself in future.

  French absinthe ? (was Re: lego from China and Czech Republic)
 
(...) Absinthe ? Do you mean the drink made from absinthe? This drink is not allowed to be sold in France (since 1915). The "French absinthe" you are talking about is more probably from Switzerland.
