Dear Lego
Not only have you rendered my prized Moon Landing set obsolete, but you’ve
introduced specialised parts too.

Hey, I had that as a kid...I marveled at the tons of blue slopes (“how dare you
desert me, Lego? Bricks are rectangular, not sloped!”) And I also remember the
front of the “moon buggy” had a printed brick with a car headlights and
grille...

Dear Lego
You’ve really done badly with this. Why a grey castle? Lego castles have been
yellow for years - why do you need to go and use a colour which has only been
widely available for a couple of years. You’ve rendered my 375 Castle totally
obsolete - I may as well just toss it out now. I don’t know what to do, but
I’ll certainly be buying less of your product in future.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen at least one person post that yellow is the true
Castle color...
I think you forgot the shift from granulated trees to what we have now...I think
granulated trees look more realistic! :)

Man, that jogged my memory of the same thought. That was one of the first sets I
ever owned and I too remember all the blue slopes. (I also seem to recall that
the model wouldn’t stand up to too many “landings” before the legs broke apart).
I also remember the first time I saw an inverted slope. It was pretty foreign to
me - we called them upside-down triangles.
