(...) And to be fair, my experience with Mega Bloks consists of picking them out of yard-sale lots of LEGO, so I've really only dealt with MB pieces that are relatively old and worn. I must admit that more than one recent MB set design has caught my (...) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) I've observed this in my children, too. And, if Lego's target audience doesn't care, then it just makes the decision to change the color just that much more inane... Mark (22 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)

Jake, As many others have said, thank you for your (relatively) timely post to inform the community of LEGO's decision. I say relatively, because it seems this is something that probably should have been brought up before the color change was (...) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, FTX)

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)
