Lego still sells the old gray. They still sell bulk packs. Aren't you buying
them?

Wrong. The factory is not intended to ease your color-change pain, and no one
(including Jake) is trying to pretend it is. It is possibly the start of a great
product/selling concept that Lego has hinted at for years. That is what the
excitement and enthusiasm is all about. Go back and read some of the Brickfest
keynote addresses from a few years ago if you just don't get what it's all
about.

Then they will change it. They reserve the right to change whatever they want,
whenever they want, and however they want. You reserve the right to not buy it.
What's your point?

No, I would prefer if you'd stop playing bait-n-switch games here in
lugnet.lego. "Oh, it's not about the color change - it about how I don't get
what's so great about the Lego Factory", and then you proceed to go on your
usual rant attacking Lego and Jake over the color change.(1)
Please voice your color displeasure in the newsgroup specifically created for
color change issues: lugnet.color. Some of us here are interested in genuine
feedback on the Lego Factory concept and are not interested in your personal
problems with the TLC.
