I've just got a small amount of the new grey's in the Imperial Shuttle. Whilst the both colors are fine as part colors, and could be usefull in some models, i feel that i much prefer the origional grey bricks as general parts. The old grey is much (...)

<snip> Jake, Thanks for actively bringing up this topic. When I heard that colors were being replaced, it was like a punch in the stomach for me.

Hi Jake, Thanks for getting our feedback. New colors are great, but I think a core color change is a mistake. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the ingenious idea of the LEGO company to get people to buy bricks, and then buy more bricks to add to (...)

Hi Jake- I usually do not have a vocal presence on LUGNET, but I feel that this is an excellent opportunity to express an opinion of this change. I personally don't mind the new colors as an ADDITION to the existing and ever-growing color palette. A (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

My concerns are the following: My collection is large, so it naturally has a lot of grey. (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

Hello! The new grey coloures may be cool. But I like warm colours better. The world is cold enough, so why does LEGO even enhance the chill by producing such unnatural and unfriendly colours?
