First off, thanks for putting this out there, Jake. Now, to answer your
question:
Personally, I LIKE the new colors. I have amassed a lot of “old” light gray and
I build a lot of spaceships in that color. I like to use old, worn and faded
light gray bricks here and there to compliment my “panel work” add some grit and
realism to the ship. For me, the new light gray will serve that purpose. Same
goes for the dark gray.
However, for the same reason of having so much old gray I want to maintain
consistency throughout my collection. So I want to keep buying the old gray,
particularly if new pieces are to be made in that color or even older or current
pieces that have yet to be made in light gray.
Although I think TLC has excellent customer service, I’m not a Lego purist
entirely for reasons of “customer loyalty.” The reason why I have stuck with
Lego building toys over the years is partly because of the quality/durability of
the ABS plastic and the variety of parts, but mainly because of the consistency
in colors. However, if the colors are going to keep changing I think I might as
well start buying Megablocks too.
So I think it’s fine to keep the new colors but don’t get rid of the old colors.
