I may be confused but I don’t think Jake ever offered to keep track around in old grey. I speculate that’s beyond his power. What I believe he was seeking was a list of things to get “one more run” in the old color, or at the very most, to be available in both colors. But that latter option is, I speculate, very expensive for the business to do.

Perhaps it’s all just a blur now (i.e. 263+ messages later), but he did mention something to that effect in the very message that started the whole ruckus all over again:

I am interested in getting feedback from you (via this thread) on which elements MUST be produced in the old colors for the long term. (And no, you can’t say “the whole range of parts!” :) )”

I stand corrected, thanks.

I still don’t think that even if a part is “kept around for the long term” in the old color, the implication is that you won’t see it in the new color.

This set has been planned for production for some time, surely. And elements of it were probably produced before the thread started, probably.
