(...) What a last line... And I was enjoying your post until then as well ; ) I just can't embrace the bley (though I've picked up more than I meant to from those 'low percent' sets). It doesn't work (IMO) for stone/rock/cliff/castle and generally (...) (17 years ago, 25-Feb-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) I saw this on the UCS Falcon thread and didn't get around to commenting about some of the responses saying "Boy, I wish I hadn't sworn off bley, this is so cool"... I think you've answered it yourself: Only you lose out in the end--there are (...) (17 years ago, 25-Feb-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.color, FTX)

The Town / Train display is putting out the call for Suburban houses to populate the areas outside the city limits. If you haven’t built town MOCs before but want to give this one a try – this is the perfect opportunity as the investment in pieces (...)

(...) You can count me in on that BrickFest discussion! I know I b****ed enough about bley back when it happened but I'm getting to a point in my creations that I have just had to say "Screw it! Just use it!" and both my bridges, Study 20 & 21, are (...) (17 years ago, 22-Feb-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) My opinion on the color change has held pretty firm since the beginning. As I thought then, and still do, the problems with the new colors are: They aren't the old colors. If you own 150,000 of the old greys, you can't expand your collection (...) (17 years ago, 21-Feb-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) I will echo this without question. I would also mention that shortly after the change happened and people were avoiding these colors on Bricklink, I was buying while they were inexpensive. Even if you don't like the colors they are priced very (...) (17 years ago, 21-Feb-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.color)

(...) All of the above was actually pretty easy to do. I just kept buying sets and building stuff. I freely mix the old and new greys and browns. If the color looks off at some point, I swap the part out till it looks right. I have a hard time (...) (17 years ago, 21-Feb-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.color)

I'm not going to BrickFest either, but: (...) I don't think it's so much of a matter of *switching* over so much as accepting bley in your collection and/or models. (...) You can use cool new pieces like 1x1 slopes, improved 2x2x2 slopes, those (...) (17 years ago, 21-Feb-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.color, FTX)

The absolute worst part is how they changed it suddenly and without warning. Even if they (...) (17 years ago, 21-Feb-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.color, FTX)
