Is it just me, or are Legos becoming of a lower quaility. They just don’t
seem to fit together the same. China and Czech republic, Perhaps that
explains it. 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 realize that Lego has been losing money, but
another company going to China. I think that perhaps Lego needs another
board of directors more concerned about quality than quick sales.

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.

Lighten up, Francis.
I don’t know about little plastic bricks, but I can tell the difference between
Czech absinthe and French absinthe with my eyes closed (hint: the Czech stuff
tastes like gasoline). Is absinthe better if it’s made by Frenchmen rather than
Czechs? Clearly, yes.
Oh no, I’m a racist!
Tim, I would hope you would keep such politically correct, self-righteous
moralizing to yourself in future.
