I bought all four of the new SW mini sets just so that I could comment intelligently on this topic. I couldn't afford the sets with the new brown, so I will restrict my comments only to the greys. I tried with the other colours. In every case they (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

First off, thanks for putting this out there, Jake. Now, to answer your question: Personally, I LIKE the new colors. I have amassed a lot of "old" light gray and I build a lot of spaceships in that color. I like to use old, worn and faded light gray (...)

But then, I have a pretty large collection of the old colors, and for what I do with LEGO, it's all I should need going forward. For me, (...)
