Hi all,
For everyone who has switched over I’d like to hear your reasons for doing so
and stories or examples of why you’re happy enough with the colour change to
buy bley and use it.
My reasons are as follows:
- Access to the absolutely fabulous new parts like mini-slopes, 1x3 curves and numerous others
- More attractive hues which better match other LEGO colours
- Access to three new colours which are close enough to the old ones to achieve subtle effects formerly impossible (see here for a perfect example)
- Ability to buy more grey or brown pieces at non-inflated prices
I’m sure there are other really good reasons to switch and I’d like to hear
some of them.

Hi Tim,
You’ve really summarised the reasons for using bley very well, and I agree with
them all - although I would not give them all equal #1 ranking. I guess my main
reason is that they are nicer to look at (particularly the new dark grey) than
the old shades, and they do generally work better with the other LEGO colours
(at least to my untrained eye).
I would say, though, that I don’t regard myself as having ‘switched over’ - I’ve
just warmly embraced the new colours. I use new and old, even mixing them on
occassions.
Cheers
