You're absolutely right, Calum. I feel so ashamed for being a shrewd consumer
and actually expecting a company that I do several hundred dollars worth of
business with every month to actually try to meet my needs as a consumer. I
hang my head in shame.
There are so many more important things for us to discuss. Like who in
rtlToronto has the most excess/unused cranial capacity. Or on how many
different types of Connect Four boards and pieces have been produced over the
last 20 years. Or whose baby pictures are the cutest. Or who StrongBad is
ranking on when he says "I don't care that your cell phone has a camera in it."
I take back everything bad that I've said about the color change. After all, if
I turn out most of the lights in my building area and wear sunglasses and never
photograph my models, I'll almost never notice that the new pieces don't match
the older ones. As long as I don't build any single model that uses more than
three pieces of grey or brown brick. After all, you never see those colors in
real life. At least not if you turn out all the lights and don sunglasses.
I guess I should go out and get a life like you say. Does LEGO sell those?
What colors do they come in?
- Chris.
p.s. I never would have expected to get such friendly advice from the
self-proclaimed Unfriendliest Place on the Internet (TM). But clearly we should
all take a lesson from you, since you have obviously been hiding under a rock
for the last two weeks.
