Are you serious? "...if it were my company I would use it...and try to
remedy" implies fairly strongly that what you suggest is (in your mind)

And the overwhelmingly sarcastic tone of the sentence "Maybe...*consider*
reissuing" similarly implies a contrast between what you'd do and what LEGO
does.
