Two words: Blay = Blyecch
I’m sure that I’ll eventually buy some of the 2004 sets -- just because I’m a
die-hard Space and Star Wars collector -- but it’ll be with a certain lack of
enthusiasm, and I’ll try to swap out as many of the blay parts as I can with
real gray parts.
By the way, I don’t really have much of a problem with the addition of the
blay and blown, etc. What has made me really depressed is the removal
ltogether of classic gray and brown. I just can’t help thinking that whoever
conducted the study didn’t understand color theory very well, especially
subtle metameric differences, and pulled a fast one on the rest of the
company.
Anyway:
My purchases per year before blay: lots and lots.
My purchases after blay was introduced: $250 or so -- but all pre-2004 sets.
