I have to say I am not happy with the final outcome. But, if Lego is serious about makeing a select few parts avaible in the old color schem I could live with the followling: 1) train track 2) 1 x 2 brick 3) 1 x 4 brick 4) 2 x 2 brick 5) 2 x 4 brick (...)

Hi, get me right: Jake tries his best - I know, but I cannot imagine he is really believing what he is writing. Then he could not be an AFOL. For him it must be frustrating.
