Yes, Bley Sucks. I know that, Jeremy Rear knows that. And a good number of

But unfortunately, it looks like bley is hear to stay. I’m stuck in my dark
(bley) ages as a result. I can’t seem to get over my bitterness, from how
TLC let me down by discontinuing the old colors.

I won’t be attending Brickfest so I’ll just have to discuss/vent this with you
online:
I don’t think I’ll ever forgive LEGO for changing the colors. The absolute
worst part is how they changed it suddenly and without warning. Even if they
consulted with us first, and we answered Adding new colors is ok, but don’t
retire the old ones, would they have made the change anyway? I don’t know.
Anyway, my LEGO purchases from retail stores have dropped dramatically since
2003. Parts for MOCs almost always come from Bricklink now. I only buy the
occasional set from S@H now if it’s on sale and if free shipping is offered.
The parts from these sets (only in singles - no multiple copies) will never make
it into a MOC - they are for display purposes only and get put back into box or
ziplock bag.
So to summarize? All new sets I buy now are only for displaying. Will I get
the UCS Millennium Falcon? Yeah, probably - and display it on my dining table.
I’ll get my new parts in the unchanged colors from Bricklink whenever necessary.
Unfortunately, I’ll just have to do without for the new parts in bley or blown
(hahaha I like that term), such as the
1x1 slope
brick. I already have a lot of old light & dark grey parts and I’m sure you do
too.
Cheers,
-Bryan
