(...) <snip> Falling in the wait and see camp, I do wonder, how valid are the rumors of color Additional colors (as already mentioned) do lead to neat ideas of having 4 grays to work with.

(...) I really don't like the new dark grey very much, and I finally figured out why. Well, there are a few reasons, one of course relating to the fact that I've become a bit notorious for my consumption of that particular color. But it's a bit more (...)

(...) replying to myself.. the new gray is not very earthy. I tried to add the 2x2 tiles to a landscape which has a lot of gray. The new gray looks very antiseptic. How appropriate for a Star Destroyer. It looks like the float on newly poured (...) (21 years ago, 16-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

There is no chance I will confuse them when they are mixed with the old. Remember the excitement when (...) (21 years ago, 16-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

Chamfering would make parts somewhat easier to assemble (just like in carpentry, the dowels for a dowel joint are chamfered for easier insertion) at a cost of some gripping.
