Hi all,
This is from a friend of mine, Gareth Bowler:
Got into my first 2004 sets today; the MINI star destroyer set, and
promptly scrapped them for parts, only to find, to my shock and dismay,
that the colors don’t match. Further more, the studs are rounded, making
connections significantly weaker, and the parts overall just have a cheaper
feel to them.
The two parts labelled “old” are both from 2003 sets, and have never had a
chance to yellow or been exposed to sunlight. The photo was not altered in
any way and is the raw output from my scanner.

Thanks for the scan.
Bad news to say the least. :(
I’m crossing my fingers that it’s all a bad mistake and the bulk of 2004 sets
won’t be plagued by this.
If Lego truly wants to get rid of colors that have been in production for ~25
years, just because one of their “focus group” prefered the new colors, they
truly have lost the plot.
