One question while I'm at a pause in my building- what type of module do you guys find you usually need more of: 1, 2, 3 or 4 corridored-modules? I'd like to help out by building my model however best it can be used, though I do have a stipulation (...)

Ditto. Anything that really needs to be said would not be said nicely, so I'll leave it at: The new dark grey is WAY too blue, and I will be buying VERY little retail Lego this year in response. I'll be getting most of my Lego secondhand, cutting (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general)

Thanks for taking the time to ask for our views. I have not personally seen the new colors yet, but I can understand where folks are coming from. They see a discontinuance of an existing (and well used) set of colors. Likewise folks see a long road (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

Well, I suppose we can attempt to be civil about this... :o) After hearing about it initially I was not too concerned, "How far off the beaten path of the color palate would LEGO stray?" I thought. Very far was my answer. I purchased the Mos Eisley (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

The main reasons i do not like this color change: 1. They don't match the old ones. 2. When mixed, the old ones look like degradaded with time. The old light grey seem too much yellowed and i hate yellowed parts. (see this post: (URL) Storing will (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

Thanks for asking.

I actually LIKE the new colors. But I DON’T WANT them because they’re changing a constant (or so we thought!) in the LEGO universe: light gray (and dark gray). The new colors are not backward-compatible and don’t match older LEGO-products. There you (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

Let me put it this way : after seeing the new and old grays together in a project, it is my opinion that the persons who approved the color change should be fired by TLG. I would say I hate the change, but you asked to be calm and non-hateful. (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

The new dark gray is OK, but only for certain pieces. As for the whole color replacement in (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general)
