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)

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)
