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.

Now I haven’t actually seen the new grey colors in person yet but based on the
pictures it looks like LEGO is now matching their light and dark grey colors to
the ones Mega Bloks uses. Now if the new colors are in addition to the existing
colors then I think that is awesome. If the new colors are replacements, I think
that is the single greatest act of stupidity TLC has commited. LEGO quality is
suppossed to be above that of Mega Bloks.
