  Re: New colors and other info

  Re: Petition against permanent color changes
 
Bob Hayes, 39 I AGREE THAT NEW COLORS ARE GREAT BUT REPLACING CURRENT COLORS IS A BAD IDEA. I just bought the new mini Star Destroyer set nice little set, nice new colors, but I want the old light grey and dark grey! I would be happy with just the (...)

  Traumatic Events in the Life of a Lego Fan
 
The "it's grey, folks, but not as we know it" change has certainly provoked comments ranging from thoughtful through irate, and ultimately to the ludicrous and downright bizarre.

  Re: New colors and other info
 
I, personally do not mind the new colors. I think that my Castles and Fortresses would actually look better with a more "stone" like effect with the brick color differentation. However I was wondering why did you decided to create "Galidorized" (...) (22 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)

  Re: New Poll regarding new colors
