Please don't permanently change the light and dark grey colors. I *like* the
muddiness. Who responded to this anyway in the market research? Parents of
children? Kids themselves? They don't buy bulk amounts of the two colors of
grey....rather they focus on the occasional set. The original dark grey is far
more appealing than the new 'bluish' dark grey, and the new color is too
'metallic' to be used as concrete, walls, and other details. If you wish to
create a new colorline, that's fine, but don't take away two of our accepted
base colors.
Please note that the new greys look like Megablok grey from the dragon sets.
You are not differentiating your colors enough, which is bad from a marketing
perspective. And yes, colors is one of the quality features that have
differentiated you. Ask any AFOL.
Also, there has been talk from Lego Direct about the possiblility of classic
space legends. Let's make this clear: Classic space legend sets with the new
light grey will not be appreciated as much as you hope. It's one thing to no
longer have certain part molds (moulds?), but placing two virtually identical
sets (legend and original) side by side with the different colors would be
horrific. I also don't like how this is going to raise the prices of the
original light and dark grey in the after market business, and you may find that
you have trouble selling the two new colors in bulk to the people who buy it the
most (AFOLs).
Respectfully yours,
Trevor Pruden, age 29
