Yes, Bley Sucks. I know that, Jeremy Rear knows that. And a good number of
the rest of you out there know that too (maybe even a majority).
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.
But dang it, there are a lot of cool new sets out that are full of bley. Is
it worth “switching over”? Some of you have! I want you to talk me down
from the ledge, out of my dark ages. Explain the benefits, show how you have
integrated bley into your collection, how you build with it, and how (or if)
you combine it with old greys.

I saw this on the UCS Falcon thread and didn’t get around to commenting about
some of the responses saying “Boy, I wish I hadn’t sworn off bley, this is so
cool”...
I think you’ve answered it yourself:
Only you lose out in the end--there are great sets you won’t buy out of
principle; there are new parts you won’t get to use in your models; and over
time, you’ll pay more and more for old grey on Bricklink.
Lego doesn’t care if you don’t buy bley, they ship hundreds of thousands of sets
a month. Ultimately enthusiasts are the only ones which lose out if they don’t
want to accept reality.
