It wouldn't have gone through the year + process of becoming a product without this discussion and being over-ruled. Plenty of documentation out there on how lego selects a theme / item, designs, plans production, and releases a product. It passed theses rigors, but not the "mob".

Again, the same can be said about recalled products as well - years of development and planning and even post-production QA, yet f-ups happen all the time.

So what's the argument for the mob putting pressure on them for the Firemen and Police sets? How about the White House architecture set?

That was not addressed by the article and thus is isn't relevant in this context.

Also - Firemen and Police sets as well as the White House set are still on the shelves, so what even is your argument here? If the company deems themselves in the right, they ignore "the mob" as you call it.

I highly doubt that in this day of cancel culture "companies ignore the mob".

The context of the above is relevant, they too were products approved, that were then backtracked because a small few expressed concerns about how they saw the products.

It may not be in the article, but given it is two instances of this happening in a short period, it's very much relevant.
