Dear LEGO:
Please don't screw up this new train system like you screwed up the color

I've been building with LEGO bricks for over 40 years. They've been my favorite
toy almost my entire life. And, quite honestly, I'm afraid that this new train
system is going to suck. There, I said it.
Prove me wrong, LEGO.
