Sadly, I think the LEGO Group is ignoring our pleas completely, hiding behind a "test group" result that makes no sense to justify this STUPID move. Did I ever say ther color change and people who did it were STUPID? STUPID!STUPID!STUPID...STUPID!STU (20 years ago, 9-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

Wow. I got my first 4755 at the BOGO50 TRU sale today, and it's worse than I thought. I could MAYBE excuse having 3 different shades spanning specific pieces. i.e., all 1x2s are one shade, all 1x4s another, etc. But no, I stacked the 1x2s, and got 3 (...)

Dear Lego, Last week I gave my 12 year old daughter 2 of the new Harry Potter sets. She was not aware of the gray changes, it just hadn't come up. What follows is an account of her exact words.
