(...) I've bought 3 of the new minis and Mos Eisley, but that's it for the 2004 so far and I don't see that changing any time soon.

I have not bought any 2004 sets yet, nor do I have any plans to do so. since I heared of the colour change I have bought 2003 sets from Wallmart, TRU and S@H, and I have placed some Bricklink orders (naturally with lots of grey and brown peices), (...)
