(...) I meant "Have you actually tried to make the new ones (meaning long studless beams) connect end to end?" You'd have to use 2 1/2 wide lift arms, 4 3L axles and eight bushes instead of 2 1xn plates like you do with the old ones. Steve (22 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)

Greg Muri, 32 The corporate marketing speech that Jake posted is a total crock. I will not be purchasing any new sets that contain these colors. Honestly I am still unsure if I will continue Lego as a hobby at all. TLG did such a wonderful job (...) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)

I wish they won't do that! I haven't seen the new colors, but I don't care! Like many others, I have thousands of parts in the "old" colors and I wouldn't feel very good about having to change those parts because they don't fit anymore with the new (...) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)
