Don't get too excited, but having just built the new Ferrari sets, I noticed that the hose (URL) in the pitstop set, 8375, is made of the old dark and light greys. Yes, it does look horrible against the new dark grey baseplate... Huw (22 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

Allan, Good topic. I am still very disapointed with the way LEGO has handled this color change. They have done alot of damage and sown a lot of distrust with one of their most loyal (albeit very small) customer segments. I think that in the end will (...)
