I'll add my name to the list: Tim Courtney, 21 I called Consumer Affairs today to voice my extreme dissatisfaction about this as well. I'm not overly optimistic any of this will change what is, but we'll see. -Tim (22 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) The wacky colors, especially in 1x2s, look to be useful for decorating large Roman interiors and perhaps some exterior accents. However I still need endless quantities of white and yellow.. and brown.. if they mess with white.. (22 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) I've explained my feelings elsewhere. But two things i didn't mention i will do for sure: 1. Write to Lego telling about my disliking of color change; 2. STOP buying sets with this new colours. Oddly enough, i think i'll check Peeron first. Or (...) (22 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)

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.
