Jake,

I have been quiet on the color issue since it was announced because I have been
trying to determine how it would personally affect the hobby for me.  This is my
conclusion:  I support Lego because I enjoy it for what it is, a good product
that gives me hours of entertainment.  Lego is a company that will have to
evolve to stay competitive in the toy industry and I am sure that the color
change will not be the last change to occur in order for Lego to do so.  I am in
this hobby for the long haul.  Every change that has occurred I have gladly
accepted and enjoyed adapting my building to incorporate.  The color change will
be the same.  So to answer your question about what parts to make in what color:
I would rather have parts available in the new color so I can have easier access
to them.  I would rather Lego move forward then try to balance production
between the old and the new.  Fully embrace the new and move ahead.

I realize that my opinion may not be supported by others in the AFOL community
and some may say that perhaps I don't have enough invested in the old colors for
this change to really affect me.  My response would be talk to the people that
know me (my favorite color is gray) and check my brickshelf account
(http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=jfoulds) you'll notice my
investment into the old gray colors!

Keep Building,
- Jim F.

You’d think I would have learned my lesson by now about the color change and just taken refuge in a concrete bunker. Nope, not that bright I think! I come to you with a final update, and some good news, as well as bad. Bad news first – After much (...) (20 years ago, 5-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.announce, lugnet.lego) !!
