Jake,
Thanks for the update!

This doesn't really make sense to me. What's the point of having mottled looking
light/dark grey trains running on a nicely matched dark grey track? Since the
color change is permanent, start producing all elements in new grey so that we
can cut our losses and amass a variety of pieces to be able to build creations
with the new colors.

Good!
Is anything being done about the variations within colors that we have been
seeing with the new HP sets? You can clearly see them on the Knight's Bus on the
cover of the latest catalog, and I have seen them with the dark greys in my new
Hagrid's Hut (in low light with crusty contacts even). In general, quality
control is slipping, which is *even* more dissapointing to me than the color
change to tell you the truth.

| 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) !!
