Three things: 1. I don't think anyone objects to additional colors, they object to color replacement with a different colors. 2. You might well be in a minority in not minding a mottled look to your MOCs, I think many others would be more than (...) (22 years ago, 15-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

(...) One idea did pop to mind: What if we have a batch of "lemons" here? Maybe it's just some bad bricks that slipped through the system. We've seen elements of poor quality gone to market before; remember the first batch "hydrolic" cylinders that (...) (22 years ago, 15-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

I think it's fine if LEGO wants to ADD more colors to their spectrum, but REPLACING colors is a bad idea; especially staple colors like light and dark gray. Those 2 colors are heavily used by everyone--space, town, castle--we all need gray. I'm (...) (22 years ago, 15-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Well, if it's true about the connections being weaker, I'd say that's bad news. But in all honesty, as a town building and landscape builder, I welcome a slight color variation! Mix up all of those color variations and you have buildings and (...) (22 years ago, 15-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

I waxed philosophical this morning and wrote this piece in a fit of passionate loyalty to LEGO. It hit me like a flash of inspiration two days ago and I felt I had to write it down. I thought you all might like to read it. Comments enjoyed but not (...) (22 years ago, 15-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) But that's the real kicker of it all, isn't it?. LEGO Castle is what it is because we make it what it is. LEGO Castle is the fan's theme. LEGO only supplies the bricks. It's the same with space, with town, with trains, with all the known (...) (22 years ago, 15-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general)
