It’s only a couple of weeks in the new year, and it looks like it’s going to be
an interesting 2004!
I have a request, but before I go any further, let me say that personally, I
understand the concerns surrounding the color changes. I know many of you think
of me as a marketer here to shill products. I’m an AFOL too with a healthy
collection of light and dark gray, so I can understand your concerns.
As both my duty as the Community Development Manager, and as an AFOL, I’m
interested in helping to make sure that the LEGO Company fully understands the
issues you have as well. I’m looking for your help to deliver the message. To be
totally clear, this is me asking in order to have answers ready if and when my
colleagues ask.
I would ask that you reply to this thread with your thoughts and feelings about
the color issue, both for and against. One post per person, I would think would
make sense. I would ask that the debate be restricted to other threads, and that
all posts be rational, calm, and non-hateful. This will ensure that I can more
easily pass along the information, and that the message isn’t bogged down in
debate.
Please understand that this is simply a fact/feeling/thought finding mission,
and does not mean that the decision to change colors is going to be changed.
Many of you have asked for the latest status information. There is nothing new
to report at this point. The color change is proceeding as planned, and sets are
rolling (and have already rolled) off the line with the new colors.
But I know that you don’t like this answer, so please use this opportunity (as
well as continuing to direct complaints and feedback through LEGO Customer
Service) as a way to have your voices heard.
Again, we are not changing the colors back, and from what I know now, we aren’t
considering it. This is an information gathering mission only.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Jake

| Well personaly I like the new colors, yes, they may be annoying on the issue of people who invested alot in one color, but... The only issue i have, which Lego can't solve anyways, is, & has been, the naming of the colors on BrickLink, lol, come on, (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

| (...) Jake, As an AFOL, I feel the color change impacts me on a basic, root level. Parts will come and go, themes will come and go. The one constant, to me, was the 5 or 6 original colors of the product I grew up with. This is a change at the (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

| Hi, Jake, will Kate do an "official" translation of your posting (or her version for that matter) for www.1000steine.de? Or could you grant me the permission to translate and post it there? yours, Christian Treczoks (20 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general)

| I myself haven't bought any of the new sets for 2004 yet, nor have I personally seen the new colored bricks. Until I get some of my own to judge, I have to say that I do not support the changes. Over the last few years, I have amassed quite a bit of (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, FTX)

| I think it's bad idea whose karmic boomerang will come back at TLG in more ways than I think any of us can now predict. 1. Compatibility no longer exists. I hope the Consumers Affairs division is ready to handle the increase in complaints. 2. Any (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general)

| (...) Hi, I am in the camp that likes the new colors, and I think the new light grey may be better than the old. But then, I have a pretty large collection of the old colors, and for what I do with LEGO, it's all I should need going forward. For me, (...)

| When I came home from reading week one of the first things my younger brothers did was tell me how ugly and blue the new dark gray was.
