Allan, don’t forget we are talking about toys here, so even if I appear to be a bit upset I’m not dead serious. I’m still really annoyed, though! LEGO isn’t essential for life, but is an essential hobby of mine and it is in danger of becoming (...) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) So black is the only 'dull' colour now? That is just foolish. It's it common sense that you need dull colour to make the bright colour stand out? To me all these new colour mean major sorting headache. (22 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, FTX)

The four of us in our very LEGO household use mass quantities of light gray and dark gray - we buy more bulk bricks and plates in these two colors than all others combined. Changing them will certainly affect us a lot! (Annoy is a better word. And I (...) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)

The poll forces voters into compromises. The choices should be simpler. I am in the category "I don't want to lose the old colors and don't mind fleshing out the basic spectrum, but I am opposed to the current explosion of new colors". I don't want (...)

Whatever else one might say of MEGA BLOKS, it must be admitted that they have always offered a wider range of colors than LEGO. I would (...)
