discuss such leaked information on future lines, but could I ask for a
clarification on something Brad said at NWBrickCon: “Q: Castle? A: yes” From
this post: http://news.lugnet.com/events/nwbrickcon/?n=153
When the questioner asked
“castle?”, what would have been the response if he had said “minifig scale
castle?” instead?

:) Worth a try, anyway. For the record, “Brucey-Wan” is the other Bruce from
the San Fernando Valley.

Thank heavens I’m from San Gabriel Valley, Brucey-Wan. :-)
And I’m with Leonard - it’s a sick joke on Lego’s part if the picture he posted
is correct. All we can do is hope that it will go the way of Gallidor as
quickly as possible.

Hey Bruce S.,
I didn’t reallize you were also local. Is there a requirement that all AFOLs
named Bruce live in Southern California?

To clear up any continued confusion:
Bruce Hietbrink runs Brick Tales
I, Bruce Lowell, or “Brucey-Wan”, run the creatively titled
Bruce’s Homepage.

What about his first question? Are bulk packs going to be in normal gray or new
gray? If LEGO is going to make bulk packs available in the new grays, then I
think they should have new product numbers and be listed in the catalog and
website as "new" colors so that we can tell them apart from the old ones. If I
ordered what I thought was a regular gray pack and revcived an off-color gray
pack (or brown), I'd send it back for a refund.

I suspect that the bulk packs we have been ordering have all been produced
and there won't be a production run again for a while. My guess is they
will be the old colors until they run out.

LOL!
All kidding aside... I actually prefer the non-yellowness of the new greys, and
I only wish they’d come out sooner (before I stockpiled wings and wedgeplates).
However, I do think it’s important to keep the old grey handy for matching
purposes. The bulk brick thing would be a good idea, but make sure the gamut of
parts is represented!
However, as much as I love the new, cleaner greys, I would prefer they be an
addition rather than a replacement... however, before people really panick that
they won’t be able to match their old brick colours anymore, this sort of thing
has happened before... I think it was when LEGO bricks were made from a
different plastic other than ABS, I recall the white looking distinctly more
translucent.
Ironically, I recall the old white being even purer; ie the current one is the
more yellow one. I think the old, old grey (old version of the gears before the
actual Technic line) was also even more yellow than the current (old) grey. I
don’t think anybody freaked out about any of those changes, or when they changed
the back of all plates to the more functional hollow tube design, or when they
phased out all those old rectangular plates with quarter circle edges (used for
curbs waaaaay back when).
One difference is that there was no internet back in the 60’s and early 70’s
(meaning griping wasn’t as easy to do, nor was it as easily visible). But also,
there also weren’t so many parts to have to replace in the ‘new white’. But now,
asking someone to recollect all of the different assortment of parts to recreate
a light grey collection... that’s a bewildering selection of pieces!
In addition to the bulk parts for the old grey, I second the motion of labels on
the boxes indicating which greys (and for that matter, sand blue vs light blue
vs Maersk blue, etc). That’d be nice.

Its really a sick joke! I was very hopefull when there were castles on
the agenda....now I know that I can wait for a bit before spending a bit
of cash....
however there still a few 2003 sets that I am still interested in....
perhaps a Dragon Fortress and a few Emperor’s ships. Definitely none
of these rejects...

well at least it appears the arm redesign allows traditional pieces to be
attatched.
