Yes, actually I bought my share. And have to tell you that I didn't buy more
because of the limited to 9 quantities of grey bricks pack, that make each
purchase more expensive due to shipping costs.

I don't have a clue what is behind TLC decisions. (Do you?) But if TLC was to
please AFOL they would do just one thing and that would be enough for me -
change the colour back. Since they are not doing that, I don't buy that they are
concerned with us. Not that I blame them. They are to make money. It's ok I
guess. But please, oh please, don't hurt (not specificlly you Ross, anyone) my
intelligence saying that - FINALLY - they are concerned with us. If they really
were, I'll say it again, they would change the colours back. Simple as that.
And about me purchasing old grey/brown packs, to be honest, I have mixed
feelings about these packs. One part of me says I should buy some so I could
express my voice with my wallet (and it would be a great thing if that bags soon
were sold out, therefore showing the weight of the AFOL comunity); the other
part feels that somehow I'm corroborating with a decision that I found, in a
certain sense, preverse. To this very day I haven't a definitive position about
this so I bought in a restrained fashion, 100 bags or close.
Best regards,
Paulo-Renato
