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.

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 fundamental level. No matter what elements are available at any time, at
least the colors matched. Now, nothing is constant (other than the
stud-to-brick connection, but let’s hope that standard doesn’t get changed
without warning as well).
I don’t believe that many have an issue with adding new colors to the palette.
I certainly don’t. The issue is really the loss of the old colors. In
particular (at least to me), light grey, which is in almost every space, castle,
town, boat, train, technic, etc. set I have ever spent my money on.
