Hello! I surrender. I'm not convinced but i'm beaten. I, we have got to accept the greysome fact that TLC is not going to retract this colour change. Ever. They think they did the right thing. They deliberated it carefully, they invested money and (...) (21 years ago, 14-May-04, to lugnet.color)

(...) Just as an aside, Canon HAS screwed over customers lens mount changes. I'm not sure if you were around for the Hi8 era, when the Canon L1/L2 sported a lens mount called a "VL type lens". Admittedly, it was only for two generations of consumer (...) (21 years ago, 14-May-04, to lugnet.color)

(...) Christian already brought this *very* pertinent issue up on this thread. Obviously (to me) the wiser solution would be changing back the colours (although, arguably not the most profitable at short term). But if no action is taken - changing (...) (21 years ago, 14-May-04, to lugnet.color)

(...) I think you're missing the point Bill. Your examples don't work here. Rather ask what would happen if Canon makes change to lenses mount [ruining the 'system' & breaking backwards compatibility]. And I don't think that toy x non-toy makes a (...) (21 years ago, 13-May-04, to lugnet.color)

(...) Well even if there *was* a legitimate need, it still doesn't explain how they (the Design Lab) thought replacing grey with bley would help that need. I would be very interested in hearing the logic behind that. I would also be interested in (...) (21 years ago, 13-May-04, to lugnet.color)

(...) Jake, Thanks for the information--unfortunately, you're only human yourself, and only have so many hours in a day to do things--much of which was beyond your control at that time. It appears there are possible issues in the Design Lab. In my (...) (21 years ago, 13-May-04, to lugnet.color, FTX)

Sure, I'm not too happy about the change of greys, though I think in the long run the new greys will prove to be a better color. But I wanted to offer a little reality check here... If Mattel suddenly changed Barbie's hair or eye color, would they (...) (21 years ago, 13-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.color)

And I am sorry that you've been given so much grief over this matter. However, please convey this reality check (...) (21 years ago, 13-May-04, to lugnet.color, FTX) !
