I am voting with my wallet. Today I ordered more parts 'n pieces on-line from
the S@H website.


This color issue isn't going to stop me from buying LEGO from retailers,
from Shop@Home, or from the secondary market (Bricklink or Ebay).

....agreeing with most of what Dave has posted...

<more snippage>

Being passionate about what you enjoy is one thing.  This behaviour has crossed
the line into the realm of 'extreme fanatic'.  If you are so wrapped up in your
hobby of LEGO to the point where you have the need to send obscene messages to
anyone connected to The LEGO Company, then this is no longer a hobby to you--you
have stepped over the line into 'obsession'.

I somewhat agree with this...though I would have to question the brand loyalty
of LEGO if these dissenters are willing to do this type of behavior because
of minor changes like a change in color.

I would go as far as saying that these fans would cross the line from
LEGO Fanatics to just plain Fanatics.

Just my 2 cents.

Ben
