| (...) Thanks for the scan. Bad news to say the least. :( I'm crossing my fingers that it's all a bad mistake and the bulk of 2004 sets won't be plagued by this. If Lego truly wants to get rid of colors that have been in production for ~25 years, (...) (21 years ago, 15-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

Yes, working on a machine shop floor it looks as the NEWER 2004 plate/s is of a different mold note the chamfered edges of the stud the reason for this and I must say firstly that I Have very (...)

| (...) Dunno, but does have me wondering how this change plays vis-a-vis the light and dark gray elements in the 4400 tubs that just hit the street. There are 50-ish lt-gray 2x2 bricks per tub. Is Lego dumping old-color parts ? Will these continue as (...) (21 years ago, 15-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

| (...) Yeah, this is bad juju. Nobody wants grey elements that don't match with light and dark grey as we have known them. I don't necessarily mind additions to the color scheme as we know it, but to eliminate the greys is just madness. I don't even (...)

| (...) Sorry, Josh, but it's not. The discoloring effect does happen in odd environments, but not like this. I noticed the "bluing" in the dark grey when I bought the Star Destroyer the other day; I initially wondered if it was the light, but yester- (...)

| Looks like The Lego Group is finally cutting corners (literally) in order to compete with cheap clone brands. Is this the end of good-quality Lego?, or is this merely a bad batch of product? -HRH (21 years ago, 15-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

| (...) I disagree. I took a look at my Mini Star Destroyer and noticed the blue tinge to the dark grey, but initially thought it was the light of the room. But the color is quiet different, and I can pretty much say that I don't smoke, and neither (...) (21 years ago, 15-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

| Josh..in my house NO ONE SMOKES and I have noticed some 6 months ago that when you put alot of dark gray tiles together they do not match( I used a large number on that pepsi building roof edge and a ton on that road in my flatiron block) This is (...)

I think each of us should start making emails and letters expressing our concerns as loyal Lego customers. (21 years ago, 15-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

The old peices have what i consider "Smokers tinge", my peices from my youth have simlar discoloring, and my father smokes... I think its the tar in the (...)
