Jake, Again, it is not against you but those who made the decision. (...) Just for reference, freshly from the lego.com site: "Quality for the LEGO Company is about product quality, ethical values and a consistency in all of our actions that (...)

(...) There's been no mention of whether white is "universal" or not. But since it clashes so much with the new permanent colors, I think it's only a matter of time before we can kiss it goodbye, too. Mark (22 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, FTX)

I'm actually quite partial to the standard LEGO purple, though I've noticed that the Throwbot limbs aren't the same shade as all of the other pieces, and they've used three slightly different shades of purple rubber (two shades for purple (...)

(...) If the roads are only 4-wide, the cars will clip each other as they drive past in opposing lanes (ask Steve Ringe how much of a problem that is). Also, not everyone builds 4-wide cars. The only one I've ever built uses the 5-wide twin (...) (22 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)

I'd say I have to agree that the parts packs of basic bricks, plates and tiles would be a good permanent setting. However, I would like to see those same packs in the new colors ALSO. I have room for both of the dark and light grey tones, as well as (...) (22 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, lugnet.castle)
