I bought a 2004 mini Star Wars set at the Imagination Center at the Mall of America last week, just to check out these new colors.

There is a big different between the ‘classic’ dark grey and the new dark blue-grey, and a smaller difference between the ‘classic’ grey and the new grey. Just to test it, I took about 30 pieces of the old colors, put one of the new colors into the pile and shook them up. I could pick out the new pieces basically instantly.

The GMLTC will be sorting the new dark blue-grey (my term for it, since it definitely looks blue) separately from our supply of the old dark grey. The light grey I don’t know what we’re going to do, since it’s closer to the old color it might end up sorted into the same bins.

Once you see these new colors next to your existing colors, you WILL see the difference!
