Hi,

Personally, I have no problem with the new colours. I can remember getting gray 1x1x1 clips in the mid-80s that didn’t match the gray of other bricks, I thought it strange, but it didn’t really bother me. My only concern with a colour change is that it will make replacing old bricks with new (not second hand) bricks impossible.

Regardless, I think the new light gray is a nicer shade, and frankly it differs so slightly from the old gray that IMHO most people are making a big fuss over very little. For people to say they are going to stop buying LEGO because of a slight colour change is pretty pathetic, and I would suggest (cynically perhaps) that it’s being used as an excuse.

If colour is really that important, then how many of those against the new colours, replace their white bricks once they’ve gone off-white with age?

Happy building everyone :-)

Martin
