I’ve now got my first firsthand experience with the new colors, so here goes:

LT gray is so close, I wonder why you bothered at all.

Old Dk grey is better for rocks and earthly matters

New dk grey is kind of more interesting to look at.

As far as sorting, this drives me mad. So now, eventually, I’ll have containers with more or less the same thing (bricks, plates, and slopes) only very, very slightly different. When taking things apart I’m going to be looking twice. (now was this the newer grey or the older...)

This was such a cop out. The old greys were fine. I like my wife’s first observation, “looks like Mega Blocks.” (this is an actual quote btw)

I guess the part that hurt me most was the fact that the amount of classic greys I have is all I ever will have. So to make one of the big projects I was planning (and slowly collecting for) means that I have to start collecting my grey all over again. It’s the fact that classic grey will no longer available at all is what insulted me the most.

Thanks for the forum Jake
