Unless this is all some big conspiracy over Mega-Bloks making their grey
not the same color as LEGO grey so that they could be ‘different enough’
to escape copyright infringement lawsuits, and now LEGO is changing so
that Mega-Bloks is no longer as different than the LEGO product...

I’ll buy that for a dollar.

Well, that’s about what that theory is worth. Or maybe you over paid. IMHO.
But *of course* it’s about money. The reason given says so... “we wanted to
change the colors to make them better” (by implication, so we can sell more
product and save money on managing colors and their introduction... can you
imagine what it must cost internally every time a new color is introduced?)
So it’s *not* some big revelation to conclude it’s about money.
All Todd’s friend was asserting was that it was about a different sort of
cost/revenue implication than the one we were told.
Almost everything in the world is about money. Once in a while its not but
that’s the way to bet.
Personally, I’m OK with that.
