2 words: Coke II. But I doubt it is that drastic. As for clutch, I don't think
they would have done anything major without hordes of focus groups expressing
their joy at how much easier it is to disconnect two plates. For some adults
that's all they remember about Lego: how hard it was to separate two plates.
Have we seen this on a brick or just plates?
Perhaps the new color also masks an anti-fading agent? (seems unlikely.)
