(...) If 20-30 years of the same color of grey isn't consistent, you guys sure do have a different definition of "consistent" than I do. (...) And yet I don't get the impression that this really bothers the Lego company. Do you understand that I (...) (20 years ago, 14-May-04, to lugnet.color, FTX)

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 (...) (20 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 (...) (20 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 (...) (20 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 (...) (20 years ago, 13-May-04, to lugnet.color)

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 (...) (20 years ago, 13-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.color)
