Jake,
Thank-you for asking. I am very much in favor of TLG bringing back the old
colors. The cornerstone of the Lego System is compatibility. The idea that set
elements can be combined. Colors are every bit as much a part of the Lego
System as stud diameter and spacing. Replacing colors so enduring as the greys
is devastating to builders... But I can’t see retail sales increasing as a
result of such a slight color difference. What I can see is a flood of calls
from consumers reporting quality control problems as children combine 2004 sets
in with their older bricks. Buidings with windows that alternate in color. And
how will train layouts look once track made with the new greys gets mixed in
with older track? If there is anyone higher up that you can push this issue
then by all means please do.
