I'll give them a "cost cutting" move they won't regret: I want large tubs of old grey, in a wide variety of pieces and types, technic and non-technic! I would also like to see tubs of other colors as well, such as Teal (Dark Turquoise on BL) parts (...) (20 years ago, 3-May-05, to lugnet.color)

Heck, if they have lots of old greys to get rid of, make Spring Cleaning packs of old grey/brown, and sell them at the Spring Cleaning set pricing points (i.e. large tub pricing), and I'll buy a bunch. Put them in the OLD style tubs, instead of the (...) (20 years ago, 3-May-05, to lugnet.color)

This will make it more interesting (and no doubt more challenging!) for those who continue to purchase new product. I'm glad we're hearing about this in advance, as discovering this by ourselves would've no doubt led many to false hope that the (...) (20 years ago, 29-Apr-05, to lugnet.color)

The Blue box AT-AT released last year has the old grays. Little is known about the 2005 AT-AT 4483 being sold on lego.com right now. No one knows the box type or if new/old gray parts are used. We'll find out soon, since they should be shipping by (...) (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.color)

Does the blue-boxed 4483 AT-AT (as opposed to the older black-boxed version) contain the new grays? Thanks, Steve (20 years ago, 22-Apr-05, to lugnet.color)

(...) Yes. (...) Despite of the "blay-desaster" it is still one of the best toys on market. (...) More products like the designer sets. More spare parts. More lines that last for more than 2 years. (As town and castle did in the 80ies) (...) Return (...) (20 years ago, 17-Apr-05, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color)
