Why? I hear the WHINE, but I'm not hearing the WHY. WHY is this important,
compared to other things (assume you're making a priority list here)
Track varies in color in real life. It just *doesn't* make a high priority list
of things in my view. If you have a ship or a vehicle or a building (non stone,
that is, a painted grey building that you're modeling) where some parts are OFF,
that looks a *lot* more jarring than having some ties different colors...
LEGO doesn't owe you (or any other consumer) anything merely because you bought
stuff from them in the past, unless you had some specific contract.
If you don't like their policies, vote with your wallet, but it seriously
degrades your argument to say that LEGO owes you 5000 USD or whatever because
they made a product change, and you're enabling execs to tune you right out. Why
give them that excuse? Don't foam!
To Frank's point, I don't think you need 3000 different parts but you do need
50-100 different detail parts.
I forgot hinges in my last post, the 2x2 -1x4 brick and plate, the 1x2 brick
slant top, the 2 finger - 3 finger hinges, the roof plate, wagon tailgate etc
etc 5 finger hinges and so on...

Old dark grey for steel, old light grey for concrete or old brown for wood, but the new colours are totally unsuitable. Any change to the (...)
