(...) In other words, they are not locked - if TLC wants to change their colors, I doubt that "discussion" with AFOLs would change their mind (although I would love to see 3 of these locked colors change).

Hello! (...) Well, I can only speak for myself. The year is eleven months old and I can count on two hands how many new sets I have bought. No multiple copies of one and the same set, either. What I bought, however, are old-grey and old-brown parts (...) (20 years ago, 19-Nov-04, to lugnet.color, lugnet.lego)
