As for this color elimination thing? I can’t say how ridiculously relieved I
am. As much as I like a lot of the color variety, I absolutely HATE the fact
that there’s not a lot of PIECE variety in the less-common colors. The new
blueish purple in the Knight’s Kingdom? Awesome color. But I hate it. I wish
they just went with regular blue.
So not only is this decision what I’d WANT from the company, it looks like
it’s also best for them monetarily. I’ll only be disappointed if they remove
colors I really like (and I think all my highly valued colors were on the new
“permanant” list, so I’m fairly contented that they’ll still be around).

I couldn’t agree more. With the new sets of 2004 and bulk tubs for the last two
years, I have enjoyed the many new colors. But there are not enough in any
quantity to build anything useful. Reducing the color list is a true move to
“back to basics.” Set design will have to be good and not just have pieces in
new flashy colors in order to sell. Imagine if the color list was reduced to 10
or 15 primary and secondary colors.
For the Knight’s Kingdom color choices it makes me wonder if LEGO can make a
good guy castle faction that doesn’t use some color blue. We havent had one of
those since 1992 Black Knights or 1990 Crusaders. I am tiring of blue 2x2 peak
bricks being everywhere...
