I think you could happily swap the comments on the latter day
traumatic events and no one would really notice the difference – it doesn’t
matter whether it’s brightly coloured knights or the end of 9V trains or the
prevalence of computer generated images rather than photographs on sets, or
colour coded long technic pins: People don’t like the change, and wheel out
the same comments - “how could they do such a stupid thing?”, “the company
didn’t ask us, its greatest fans”, “this’ll cost the company money” etc etc.
Ho hum.

I spent no time publicly griping about the subtle color shifts TLC made a few
years back. However, in hindsight, I can see that bley really did kill my
family’s Lego purchasing. My kid (now age 11) still gets a Lego set or two at
Christmas, but we used to buy ten times as much.
What bley has appeared in our collection drives me crazy -- quietly, thank you
-- at building time. The Bley Shift stands out as the only change TLC ever made
to its product which affected me in a negative way. Every other change you
satirized was fine by me -- it didn’t destroy any backwards compatibility that I
needed.

| (...) Wow. Four years. It's funny you should mention it: I've discussed a possible revision/redo of Traumatic Events a couple of times in the last few months. One discussion was about a possible update to take into account various traumatic events (...) (17 years ago, 12-Nov-07, to lugnet.org.ca.obb, FTX) !!
