With respect to the old light grey, I cannot figure out which set cannot be
build in the new light grey. I like the new light grey much better. When I can,
I will probably sell all my old light grey parts and obtain new light grey
parts. This however poses a problem: will all parts that right now exist in old
light gray also be available in the new light gray? And how then to obtain these
parts? I mean a bulk order is nice, but simple service packs as LEGO used to
have about a decade ago are much better (and cheaper...).

(One particular element that has my attention in this is the 1x2 silver brick
from the 10022 and 10025 sets)

For the new dark grey and the new brown, I don't think you will get a clear or
maybe even a helpfull answer from us. There are too many people with too many
different needs. Therefore your best bet would be to try to convince the
management to cancel the new colors. Of course you will have no succes, and
then, imho, the next best thing to do is to run ALL elements in the old colors
for a limited time period in a number of service packs. Since that will probably
cost far too much, it is, I am afraid, not done.


Hence we are stuck with colors some of us won't like and some of us think their
creativity is now over and they need to tell the world.
Well, suprise, it isn't. It just takes time to get some idea's wrt to the new
colors, meanwhile we keep on mourning.


And so the story ends.

Grtz,

Marck

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) !!
