Hi Jake,
I’m in the same boat as those who feel that it’s already been said (and, in some
cases, much better than I could ever do). But I do feel like I should comment,
if for no other reason than to add my name to the list of discontents and not
remain among the quite masses.
Beyond what’s already been said, I’d like to add that I do not have a giant,
500-pound collection of grey. I have a modest collection and sort of envy those
who already have what appears to be a critical mass. The amount of grey that I
have is just enough to be really annoyed with the change. It means that I am,
most likely, stuck with having to mix the new and the old to accomplish anything
significant in the future. At the very least it means that MOCs will probably
have to be constantly cannibalized for their grey parts on newer projects.
I feel like I’ve been set back to square one in this department.

I have a request, but before I go any further, let me say that personally, I
understand the concerns surrounding the color changes. I know many of you
think of me as a marketer here to shill products. I’m an AFOL too with a
healthy collection of light and dark gray, so I can understand your concerns.
As both my duty as the Community Development Manager, and as an AFOL, I’m
interested in helping to make sure that the LEGO Company fully understands
the issues you have as well. I’m looking for your help to deliver the
message. To be totally clear, this is me asking in order to have answers
ready if and when my colleagues ask.
I would ask that you reply to this thread with your thoughts and feelings
about the color issue, both for and against. One post per person, I would
think would make sense. I would ask that the debate be restricted to other
threads, and that all posts be rational, calm, and non-hateful. This will
ensure that I can more easily pass along the information, and that the
message isn’t bogged down in debate.
Please understand that this is simply a fact/feeling/thought finding mission,
and does not mean that the decision to change colors is going to be changed.
Many of you have asked for the latest status information. There is nothing
new to report at this point. The color change is proceeding as planned, and
sets are rolling (and have already rolled) off the line with the new colors.
But I know that you don’t like this answer, so please use this opportunity
(as well as continuing to direct complaints and feedback through LEGO
Customer Service) as a way to have your voices heard.
Again, we are not changing the colors back, and from what I know now, we
aren’t considering it. This is an information gathering mission only.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Jake
