(...) Well, if there was good thinking involved, nobody managed to notice it so far. Did anyone see those hoards of kids streaming in the toy shops, screaming "YES! I want those new colours!!!"? If the reasons were that good, why don't they present (...) (22 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) 2004 Lego Harry Potter, Now with new, improved colors! That sounds silly. This is more like when food companies put dye in their products to make them look better. They don't tell the customer outright, but if you look carefully at the (...) (22 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

Like many others, I am curious about why the colors were changed. I am prepared to accept whatever answer is given, even if it is one that I don't think makes a good case for the change. Some of the reasons that have been given officially (correct (...) (22 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.general)
