I see the new colours that are only slightly different from the old one
introduce major headache to all AFOL, and kids. This include the new greys,
light yellow and three new oranges.
Say this kid build a plane, and notice the right wing colour is different from
the left because a wing piece have a slightly different grey. He may dig deep
into his plate (or all grey) bucket for the right piece, and found it 30 minutes
later after colour matching all the grey-ish wing plates. Or he may search
around a bit, realize it is a major chore after 5 minutes and go back to play
video games.
Or let’s say this kid accumulated enough old and new grey and realize he need to
sort them separately, he may find that this kind of slow sorting is such a chore
he put them all back into the tub and go back to his, you know, video games!
Console games has been taking market share from PC games largely due to ease of
use. Why do LEGO want to make bulding MOC significantly more difficult? Yeah
the new colours are fine if your customer only put the set together and let it
collect dust. But kids and adults now need to go through the chore of colour
matching if they want to make MOC through mixed sets, i.e. that “core”, “What
will you make?” thing that LEGO say it’s focusing on.
So, LEGO please if you are serious about this “core” thing, stop making new
colour in all visible spectrum and focus on things that encourage kids mix sets
to build their own creation.

| 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 (...)
