Personally, for myself, the only problem the new colors represent is storage. I

new Strata 1000pc tub comes with the stupid lime, orange and light blue colors.
It means less pieces in the core colours.
I think TLG should also make the limited edion tub of old grey and dark grey
more available than just having it in Billund (North America perhaps?).
But as a Town collector mainly, I have a few concerns.
1) Why make the road plates 6 wide when 90% of the cars are only 4 studs
wide? Isn't that brand new ambulance in the Spiderman 2 set only 4 wide? YES
2) Dislike the minifigure's head color change. Keep it yellow. If I want realism
I'll buy McFarlane toys.
3) And please leave the train tracks alone
I much appreciate the time you take to let us know what's up with Lego
