I havent even seen the new colors i life, but....

IS this is really true LEGO SHAME ON YOU. CORE colors in ANY SPACE set change. How could you? Building with Lego will never be the same again.

To your average 8 year olds?

I was so much looking forward to the new 2004 line. Now I think I will check colors FIRST. Does my Lego SW colletion really stop here?

I think that’s your decision.

I picked up the new Snowspeeder today. It uses the new grays (both of them).

I think the new dark gray is a fantastic color.

I just hope that someone will post the building instructions so I can build the models in REAL GREY.

No worries. They will be widely available in about three years.

(FUT: general. SW-only readers, check lugnet.general for a big thread on some interesting changes to Lego brick colors.)

hi, quick q:

does it use the new greys exclusively, or in conjunction with the old greys?

thanks! hoping its the former... I can’t wait to get some new grey!

Entirely the new colors (the set is largely white, recall). That’s to be expected, I think, the light grays in particular are very close and there’s really no reason to ship both of them in the same set.
