The first item on your list of "good news" confuses me. Are you saying that
these three colors are now instant classic colors and only they will remain
unchanged? What about white, black, red, yellow, blue and green? Those are
also core colors.

Triangular and rectangular BURPS along with the basic brick packs you already

The old dark gray makes these parts much more useful for organic MOCs like

I have participated in a focus group before. I am not convinced of their
legitimacy for determining anything worthwhile. I'm sure that some are better
designed than others and it is encouraging that you want to broaden the audience
in them. Has TLC considered using a LUGNET newsgroup as a focus group? That
would give them a broad range of opinion in at least the AFOL segment.
