I think it's fine if LEGO wants to ADD more colors to their spectrum, but
REPLACING colors is a bad idea; especially staple colors like light and dark
gray. Those 2 colors are heavily used by everyone--space, town, castle--we all
need gray. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who want their present
gray pieces to match any gray they buy in the future. Jeff Elliott made a good
point in suggesting that this change might just be in the new mini Star
Destroyer sets. However, if different colors are going to be replacing old
grays for good, then that means LEGO has opened a 55 gallon drum of worms.
I find it hard to believe that LEGO would be switching everything to have
rounded (bevelled) studs. Firstly that would mean a step backwards in product
quality. Second, it would mean making new molds for all the pieces, which would
be expensive. Let's all hope that this deformed stud thing was just a mishap.
If TLG is going to be getting rid of the original grays and rounding the
studs, then Jake McKee and Brad Justus are going to need to wear riot gear and
bring bodyguards to any future LEGO gathering that they attend.

| 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 (...) (20 years ago, 15-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX) !!
