I hear you brother!

So, a space legend while starwars is out means less people buy starwars
(which is bad for TLC for obvious reasons) plus less people buy the
space legend.

Okay, sure.  Who knows why?  I mean really know why?  Only the nice
men/women in suits sitting in an office somewhere.

Still, I dont really care, I can always get my space parts and sets
through the secondary market and lego probobly wont get any of my money
at all (thanks to the liberal use of those awful curved bricks and jack
stone parts in all the eps2 starwars)

Jeesh!  I wonder if people were this shook up when slopes were first
introduced...  New brics are an additional way to build.  Get shapes we
couldn't get before.  You've seen folks badgering about that before I know!
Now we get some new shapes and we're still badgering.  Is it any wonder why
Lego gets confused?  (new parts/ no new parts, classic sets returned/ no
classic sets returned, what DO they want????)  Sort of sending mixed signals
don't you think?
