(...) Jake, Thanks for the update. Curiously absent from the list are any/all of the transparent colors. Hopefully some of those (t-white/clear, t-yellow, t-green, t-red) will be included in the additions to the list. Ray Sanders lugnet # 124 (22 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)

Hi Jake, I didn't bought any of the 2004 sets and i think i will not. I'm really frustrated with this color change. I was thinking what - apart for changing back the colors (the wiser move: if there's anything worst than making a mistake it is not (...) (22 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)

I love tan, and the "sand" colors. Tan, at least, needs to be around forever. I'd like to see chrome gold universalized, too. Imagine a 6285 Black Seas Barracuda with all the yellow replaced with chrome gold. That is bliss. (22 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)
