Adding new colors is a good thing, in my option, but that’s not what’s happened here. AFOL’s argue about new colors, but the worst case scenario is that hated new colors can be ignored (placed in a storage bin and never used), or they can be sold to other AFOL’s.

However, what Lego has done this time is far worse. Lego has taken away the original colors. There may be a “replacement” color, but that replacement is really a new color. It will never match the original colors.


To summarize, new pieces and colors are good and encourage people to buy new sets. Taking away pieces is not so good and encourages people to buy used pieces from others. Taking away colors is very bad, and I’m unsure what to do about it as I’m sure some older pieces of mine won’t be made in the new colors. :-(
