First off, I apologize for bringing this issue up again, but a promise is a

here it is. snip

I hope this helps clear things up.

Ok Folks,
It’s been a long time since I’ve been flamed (quick check to my behind to see
if 3rd deg burns have sufficiently healed over... yup), so I guess it’s time to
get my fanny fried again.
Jake, thank you for the explaination. I at least (though I can see that there
are many others as well) appreciate that you have come forward with this
information. It was inciteful and detailed, and to some degree helpful (in that
we shouldn’t have to speculate how these things are decided anymore -now we
“know”).
Please don’t anyone get me wrong though. I have my own beefs with TLC, and a
dramatic shift like what happened with the “greys,” is at best unfortunate. This
is not a carte blanc to TLG from me, this is my nod of appreciation to Jake for
working as hard as he can for not just TLC, but for us as well (no one could be
paid enough money for the ammount of work Jake has done for us).
Given some time to mull over the merits of such an act may or may not have been
helpful or healthy for the community. But it’s here. Now. let’s just deal with
it and move on. This reminds me of the endless debates about whether mini-figs
should have flesh tone color. The answer at that time (officially mind you) was
“NO!” But now, here we are in 2004, and at least 3 separate themes with
mini-figs are sporting flesh tones.
My point to the former is this. The product will change. It will change in
ways we will not like, or expect. Still we build and have fun, and find
interesting ways to use what we thought were undesirable parts or colors. It’s
the nature of this beast we call being an AFOL.
Have Fun!
C-ya!

| (...) Rich, I have to pick on you, buddy ;-) Above, you say 'inciteful [1].' I can't tell if that was a genuine typo, or if you meant it as a reference to how any official posts about the color issue incite harsh posts against the company and the (...)
