   Have you been following Ben’s Bricks and the custom drivers he is molding? Here is my thought line. You’ve got overseas clone brick companies with little to no distribution stateside. Not in an attempt to copy Lego sets, or even release currently produced color parts, it would be very tempting to commission them to make custom colors from their existing molds. Can you image the return of classic light and dark gray? Limitless!

I think that this might be a good idea indeed! I’m really sick of this blays and rbrowns!

Hey, if TLC thinks classic colors are dull (who are they kidding afterall?, kids?...) maybe there are other companys that would not.

Does anyone here have any sort of contact inside (no need for that inside I suppose) of such a company? That could be a chance for them too. With old colors back and suberb plastic quality (i.e., better than MB; on the league of Tyco for instance) I (and some of US for sure) certainly would migrate from brick suppliers.

P.S. Dear Lego, the color change is a growing mistake. The more it persists, the bigger the mistake. When will you be able to realize it? Maybe too late, I’m afraid.
