  Re: Color Change - Final Update
 
(...) Thanks Jake, for once again reaching out to the community. I understand how the company works, and I am glad to hear that they are allowing some parts to be continued in the old colors! Having said that, I think the following would be great to (...) (22 years ago, 5-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)

  Re: Color Change - Final Update
 
<snippage> (...) I agree. I careless for this color change issue more as I see what the colors look like. The only thing that I really find irritating about the colors is the decision to go with pasty skin tones instead of classic ones. That, and a (...)

  Re: Color Change - Final Update
 
Jake & All, (...) First, thanks for posting information for us on this subject, I am sure you feel like drinking pink fluid sometimes when you do. : ) Seriously, I know a lot of people in the clubs I am involved with are upset about this, as I think (...)

(...) Jake: I recall a somewhat controversial (as always!) survey that you announced in the past few months. The main focus of it was Legends. We were asked to rate possible future Legends releases. There were also questions about potential future (...) (22 years ago, 5-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)
 
  Re: Jake did good Thanks!!
 
(...) I have to agree with nearly all the sentiments expressed here. Jake is not personally at fault here and (note: my own unsubstantiated opinion) probably none too impressed by it all himself as he a is an AFOL as well as an employee. Thus going (...)

  Re: Color Change - Final Update
 
(...) Here's a thought...make the current 9V track with the "old" dark gray. Any new track geometries---make them the "NEW" Gray. Result--those who want new track geometries will eventually wind up filtering into new gray colors...and you can easily (...) (22 years ago, 5-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)

Take eBay, for example. they always like to give the impression they are listening and "taking the community's ideas on board", when (...) (22 years ago, 5-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)
 
  Re: Color Change - Universal Colours
 
Jake, That brings about an interesting question that may have already been asked. What are the universal colours? Some seem obvious to me... but what about green or tan? Thanks, - Jeff (22 years ago, 5-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)

  Re: Color Change - Final Update
 
(...) I'd like to say I agree with Anthony has to say. Castle Walls I dont use as much as I use basic bricks (2xn and 1xn) and plates. Minifig accessories don't bother me as much because I don't army build. Furthermore, many of my accessories now (...) (22 years ago, 5-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, lugnet.castle, FTX)
 
  Re: Color Change - Final Update
 
Jake, Thanks for the update! (...) This doesn't really make sense to me. What's the point of having mottled looking light/dark grey trains running on a nicely matched dark grey track? Since the color change is permanent, start producing all elements (...) (22 years ago, 5-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)
