(...) When I first read about the color change, I thought..well...it can't be that bad...however..now that I own a few of the sets wnd some of the colors...I can see why some people are so upset. The first thing I thought when I saw them in person (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

Hello Jake, First, I'd like to thank you for allowing the AFOL community a chance to provide constructive feedback. I don't know of many other companies that would take such interest in a relatively small market segment's opinion. From a personal (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

Thank you TLG for such a change in color and how you did it. I am sure that when my kids (who are NOT born yet) go to MBA school this will be a classic case study on how a company goes DOWN the toliet! In my studys for my MBA I learned how IBM (...)

Lego has represented the new grays as an "improvement". I don't agree - they are merely different. For some applications of gray, they will work better, for others, they will be worse. Natural stone is a warm tone, and the yellowish gray old bricks (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

Jake, Thank you for taking the time to get feedback from the AFOL community. I hope most of it is rational and polite. Light gray and dark gray are (were) my favorite colors and I was very upset to hear about the color changes. As a new color, in (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

OK, I guess this is my chance to sum up my thoughts on new colors (having not yet read any of the previous 60 posts on this thread): I strongly oppose the change in colors and that issue alone has caused me to stop buying new Lego sets for the first (...)

(...) I really, really like the new grey colors. I think in and of themselves, they're great--the gunmetal dark grey could be extremely useful for lots of space things, and the light grey is nicely neutral. However, I really DISLIKE them as (...)

(...) I'll agree on that. It will be a choise between buying or NOT buying any new Lego set :-( Of cause I had to buy one just to see the colors for myself. This is my conclusion on the colors: 1. I like the new grey. It is actually more clear in (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Do I like the change in colors? No. I'd like to keep the current color pallet. In fact, I think there are too many color variations as is. Why do I not like the change? As an engineer, I am always concerned with backwards compatibility. Sure (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

Hello Jake, Thanks for the opportunity to get feedback from the fan base, and see what the responses are. I've read about 2 to 3 dozen responses on the color change. While I didn't think I'd reply, after reading the posts I felt to chime in. As a (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)
