Jake, please, please shut up! Do you believe what you are writing? We don`t need your way of community development. I give you a good hint: Look for another job! We don`t trust in any word from you nor TLC. Tomorrow white will die, then red, (...) (22 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)

[snipped lots of not positive blabla] (...) I do not feel understod at all. If this is your final update, you have finally lost a consumer, a big fan, a big supporter and promoter.

(...) I wondered about some numbers, so I consulted Peeron: Those named above are 9 most used colours (minus the 'new' word, of course). These account for 91% percents of parts used in all sets. Original Gray is #2 (15.4%), DkGray #7 (3.9%), Brown (...) (22 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)

Maybe some sorts of tan in the next starwars-set? Or (...) (22 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)

Heavy metal pigments are no longer legal in the US (which is why brown/tan plastic electrical fixtures are no longer (...) (22 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, FTX)

Many people have asked what colors are currently considered "universal" or locked. This means that these colors will almost certainly never be changed. Universal colors are colors that we consider to be untouchable for change. While the final list (...) (22 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, lugnet.announce) !!
