I’ll begin by saying “Thanks for letting me.”
In nice wording, the color change is a rather unwise move and I hope will be
corrected.
Change is something we’ve (both LUGNET and general public) been reading about of
lately. Many of us here have seen reports from the media concerning the LEGO
Co. market performance and the changes in the higher eschelons of the LEGO Co.
In particular was a quote by Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen:
“In our efforts to follow the trend, we forgot about our traditional, basic
products -- the plastic building bricks -- ...”
In my view, the replacement of light grey and dark grey shades is an example of
forgetting “... about our traditional, basic products ...”. The color change
is not following the ideology to return to tradition.
Most here on LUGNET know my feeling of this color change but to those in the
LEGO Co. (other than Jake) who are reading this I think the color change is an
act of stupidity. My reasons are the same as many others here who have posted
their reasons of displeasure with the color change.
Will I buy 2004 sets with the new grays? Most likely not.
