I wonder, though: It was said those old-colour packs were limited to 10,000
bags each (http://news.lugnet.com/lego/direct/?n=5877). But they are still
available. So does that mean that 2500 Lugnet members + assumably double that
number of AFOLs who are not Lugnet members wouldn’t be able to get 10000 bags
of old grey bricks “sold out”? I’m not saying it’s a bad thing they are still
availabe, quit the contrary. I just wonder if the official number of “10,000”
was completely true? Or if oldgrey bricks are even still in production? Maybe
they (TLC) didn’t know exactly how many oldgrey pellets they still had in
stock so they just guessed it would be enough for 10000 bags of bricks and
plates, but it turned out they had more on stock so they continue the
production. Or they just said “limited to 10000” to get us buying as soon and
as many as possible.....

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 is that you’re not going to believe me no matter what I do. That’s your
choice.
The reality is that AFOLs, the primary market for these bags, haven’t bought
enough to sell them out. Some bags remain in higher quantities than others, and
MANY more bags were sold in the US than in Europe. I’m not saying this is good
or bad, it just “is”.

| 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)
