In which our patience is tested, but only in the most trivial of means

It has happened again, readers. Lego has betrayed the adult/teen/tween community again. It frustrates us, and we had hoped it would stop at changing grey/brown, but it continued. The line was drawn with the death of the beloved and vastly superior to any possible system: the 9 volt trains, but that line was promptly erased and redrawn with the news of even more recent changes. Can you, readers, believe what Lego, a kid-orientated childrens toy company of all things, has done? They changed one of the most useful parts ever. The flame. Yes, the flame.
