(...) There have been inquiries as to the number of eggs that will be used. The answer is that "one bag" of eggs will be scattered around. The bag pictured is a 9.2-ounce bag, but so far this year I've only been able to find 11-ounce bags. The (...) (17 years ago, 28-Feb-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.robotics, FTX)

Here's one of my older posts about the color change from just about 3 years ago: (URL) I was very much anti-new colors mostly due to me not liking to mix different hues of the same color in a MOC. So I was concerned at the time of potentially (...) (17 years ago, 27-Feb-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) Agreed, Tim. Especially in the recent MOCs including both old and new colors. As long as Ebay doesn't sue for infringement, bley is better than 'light stone' or 'medium cool grey number 20' or some such. Aaron (17 years ago, 27-Feb-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) I use both old-gray and bley indiscriminately. :o) Well, ok, not quite indisciminately, but I don't tend to worry about the change too much, and I'm a person who's very much a classic fan. I think part of the reason is that bley pieces tend to (...) (17 years ago, 26-Feb-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.color, FTX)

So at first, yeah, I thought it looked awful as rock. But after seeing it get (...) (17 years ago, 25-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)
