I visited a friend in another state this past weekend, and we got to
talking about the color change. To paraphrase what he said:
“The reason has to be money. Purely money, nothing else. They’re a
business. They’d be idiots if it were any other reason besides money. Do you
know how expensive a color change like this is? They wouldn’t be doing it
unless they were sure that it would save them money.”
This got me to wondering: Why has Mega-Bloks gray always been so blay?
Is blay cheaper than gray? Why on God’s Green Earth would Mega-Bloks
choose not to color-match classic LEGO gray unless it were cheaper to
make it blay instead? Hmmmmmm.
