Hey, do you remember someone who stockpiled Coke in 1985? I had a neighbor whose parents complained of migraines if they didn't get their bottle of Coke. So, prior to the switchover to Coke II the garage was stuffed to the gills with Coke, so that (...) (22 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)

Looking at your post, I suppose that you yourself hate Galidor as well.... :-D And perhaps Bionicle too? What about the juniorization of sets? LOL. Personally Im not fussing about the colors, its the Castlidor invasion Im worried about. (22 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) 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.
