If kids aren’t going to notice the color change, why not change it back,
since they won’t notice that either? The only people who have noticed the
color change are, by and large, not happy about it.

Why do kids have to actually note a color change between versions A & B for
it to be a worthwhile product enhancement? Do most kids buy multiple copies
of the same set and compare them? So what if the gray doesn’t quite match
their older pieces? Is the effect on their (often rainbow warrior) building
habits significantly altered?

I wish people would stop talking about children like they are idiots. My 8
year-old *has* noticed the change, and she *has* asked me about it. She brought
it to my attention, not the other way around. Does she buy multiple copies of
the same set? No. She does have the entire Harry Potter line though, and she’s
not very happy that the new sets don’t match her old sets. Especially the
flesh-toned minifigs. I still haven’t come up with a good explanation for her
on why Harry is yellow in one set, and flesh colored in another.
Maybe my single child isn’t a good representation of the company’s target
market, but I’d be willing to bet that there are other parents out there who
have children who are asking the same questions.
