I've now got my first firsthand experience with the new colors, so here goes: LT gray is so close, I wonder why you bothered at all. Old Dk grey is better for rocks and earthly matters New dk grey is kind of more interesting to look at. As far as (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

Hi Jake. Thanks for asking. This is my first post in regards to this topic, although I feel very strongly about it. My biggest concern is that this is an omen of things to come. After producing these colors for over twenty years, they are changed so (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general)

Hi Jake, I'm not exactly a huge poster here on lugnet, but I am a collector of huge amounts of lego. I only got back into lego a couple of years ago so I no doubt don't have the collections other folks here do. I strongly oppose the colour change. (...)

Much like the numerous previous opinions, I agree that the color diversification is a good thing, but not at the expense of established colors. However, the central issue for me is not that my greys and browns will become antiquated and mismatched. (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

I have seen pictures of the new grays (which I hate) and I heard that they're also changing brown and the minifigs face tone too. Does anyone have any pictures of these other changes that they can link me too please? -Jeff (I hate the gray change!) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.general)

Jake - I don't like the change to the colours. I think it's a big mistake. I'm aged 30, and I've been buying Lego for myself for 25 years. Bricks and plates have been available in light grey for that long, as have mini-figures. I regard both as (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general)

At Groningen, The Netherlands, in the 1880's a spacious building was erected to house the local exchange market for grains. The building was soon to be known as 'De Korenbeurs' (The Grain Exchange).
