If TLG build factory in Asia to serve Asian markets better, why they do it in China? There is lots of better countries where human rights and ethic things are already fine, like Japan, Taiwan, South Korea. Australia is near enough too. Should work well. So why China? I don't buy TLG propaganda when they say it's not money question. If it's not money question, why China over better quality countries? Yes, and this is no good direction. If I alone boycott, you are right. But if all AFOLs and lots of parents boycott, it REALLY can see at sales. And yes, they really see which sets are success and which not. That's why TLG bring new police sets almost every year but not Arctic. Besides that, continuous information "we don't want buy these chinese crap sets, please don't do it anymore" will be seriously taken if chinese-part-sets sales go down. If I would be sales manager, I would think "Why the hell Creator sets sold trillions and superbubbaZuma only few?" But they not listen before money talks first. *sigh* Here we go again... Lego bricks are my dearest toys. I LOVE them. Almost every other toys these days are manufacturing already in China. Some of them are better quality, some lower. This is not question about hating irrationally. I want there is at least ONE toy company who thinks differently and brings quality and human rights over few pennies. Why Mexico factory is not in USA or Canada? Why China factory is not in Japan or S.Korea? People will buy Lego sets anyway, so why not product them in better countries and collect points home like "LEGO -only big toymaker with western standards"? Yes I feel hate, but not irrationally. I feel hate because I care. I care my dear toys and their future. I hate low quality. I hate manufacturing in dictatorship only because few money. I hate TLG lying me. Some of us have principles. If you don't want understand why I'm hating they make my most important toys in China, it's your problem.

See the big fenders above rear wheels. I think they tried to make more of F-350: Too small for that. More of like one of those shitty Nippon SUVs... Are you kidding???? So what's this then, a SCUD Launcher?

Any clue when TLG started manufacturing in China? Before that, I suppose all sets were 'clean'. I want some sets from my Dark Age (2000-2010) but I must know 'safe' years before I spend my money to Bricklink. Very hard to find information... :(

This is the message I want to tell to TLG. If Lego bricks are expensive and from China (with crappy chinese quality), then there is no reason to buy them. Why not buy MegaBloks then? You get same crap but much cheaper. Ambassadors, please? You mean all chinese pieces come in their own polybag? Then it's actually really easy avoid them. When buying new set: open box, throw chinese polybag out from window and enjoy others? Still...if I buy set, then my money will go to TLG and they suppose we don't care about chinese parts. This is one reason why I boycott sets with chinese parts and only buy 'clean' sets. Money talks.

Hi everyone! I know there is many discussions about China parts, but I didn't find this. Yesterday I went to supermarket's Lego foams and checked out... All licenced themes was ruined with chinese parts. Gratefully many City and Creator sets were 'clean' but there is no theme where all sets are clean. Because I don't want to run all supermarkets finding sets where is China and where is not, I thinked to find information from internet. I'm many times tried find from internet "Made in" of new Lego sets. It's very hard to find any. Do you know some links? Reason why I'm interested is because I don't want any chinese parts to my collection! I hate that almost all toys and other things are made in China and IMO Lego is toy which never should product at China. If that means some parts become more expensive, so be it. Say no to chinese plastic and crap! (sorry about my english)

Hello and greetings from Finland! I'm male, 28 now. Lego bricks are my most loved toy at childhood. I have almost all still left, though most are at my parents house garret. My dark age was years 2000-2009, and I'm happy that ended. Now I'm joyful AFOL! Here is some sets from my collection: Load and Haul Railroad - http://brickset.com/sets/4563-1/Load-and-Haul-Railroad I'm very sure this and other train sets are most played. My dearest set. Black Seas Barracuda - http://brickset.com/sets/6285-1 It's now at my foam. My friends admire it. Central Precinct HQ - http://brickset.com/sets/6398-1/Central-Precinct-HQ This was first set I builded reversed! I looked instructions and mirrored it in my mind. Eldorado Fortress - http://brickset.com/sets/6276-1/Eldorado-Fortress My first AFOL set I buyed 2010. Looks good near to BSB. Whole Western theme (without indians) from 1996-97. Biggest of them is Fort LEGOREDO - http://brickset.com/sets/6769-1/Fort-Legoredo I'm proud I have all these revolver heroes!
