Hello! (...) For those who have a Pick-a-Brick nearby it's much cheaper to get their oldgrey bricks from there. Yes, I got packs with oldgrey bricks from Shop-at-Home and when I sorted the pieces into my sorting boxes I realized how few pieces I got (...) (20 years ago, 20-Nov-04, to lugnet.color, lugnet.lego)

(...) I'd say that's the most likely explanation. AFOLs have many sources of bricks and besides - MANY just aren't that affected by the colour change. (...) I can understand why people are annoyed at the color change. But it bothers me a lot that (...) (20 years ago, 20-Nov-04, to lugnet.color)

(...) The absolute truth is that there were 10,000 bags of each of color (3 colors x 2 bag styles) produced. I'm am beyond positive about this because I was part of this process. I'm not sure what else I can do to make you believe that, and my fear (...) (20 years ago, 20-Nov-04, to lugnet.color, lugnet.lego, FTX)

Hello! (...) Thanks, I accept that. I have no reason to doubt you tell the truth. I was just hoping... (...)

(...) Saying that "no other elements availible in light gray anymore" is stretching the situation a bit. There are reasonably large quantites of both 'classic' grays available on BrickLink.

(...) That is true. I have plenty of "old-gray" bricks, and there will probably be plenty "old-gray" elements on bricklink for a long time to come, but my main issue is that elements introduced after the color-change (like the 3x12 wedge-plate) will (...)

The only problem I see with that idea is that if the 10K bags of gray weren't sold, that means there's stuff in inventory. The market demand of that set doesn't seem (...)
