This may come as a surprise to many people, but one of my hobbies is creating
things with LEGO bricks.
Shocked? I know that my parents still are, and this after 30+ years of me
playing with the ‘Automatic Binding Brick’.
It’s my chosen hobby--a conscious decision was made many times thru my life
to continue this hobby.

Bottom line? TLC, change the colours or don’t change the colours--It’s your
company. You will stumble sometimes, and I guarantee you that you will not
make everyone happy with all the many different decisions you make on a daily
basis. I applaud your efforts to do what’s right for your company and your
product.
And if you, the AFOL, don’t like the new colours? Then don’t buy the new
colours. “But what about my MOCs? I won’t be able to colour match!!” Well,
I’d like to see the ‘67 Camaro make a comeback as well, but I don’t see that
company reissuing the car just ‘cause the fans want it. Times change. Can
you imagine what would have happened if this tirade happened when TLC
released green in more than just baseplates? “Hey TLC!! Stick with the
original red, white, blue, yellow, and black bricks!!” I don’t even remember
any shade of grey before ‘78.
From me, a quick message to TLC--Know that for 30+ years you’ve made this
particular fan of the brick very happy with his hobby.

David, I applaud you.
This has been a refreshing post to read due to current events and I thank you.

-I give it a month before someone posts a MOC with new colours that’ll make
many people say “Wow! Didn’t think about that!”

| (...) Again, this misses the point. I think what most people are upset about is not new colors appearing, but old colors disappearing. Sorry to flog a Dark Grey horse... - Chris. (20 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)
