I really don't like the new dark grey very much,
and I finally figured out why. Well, there are a
few reasons, one of course relating to the fact
that I've become a bit notorious for my consumption
of that particular color. But it's a bit more than
that, and I think you've touched upon it here:
It's too close to the old dark grey.
That's what has me all messed up; I agree that two
off greys would mottle very well, but these two are
just way too close, and the blue effect makes it
mismatch way too much. To see perhaps a "better"
case, look at the "old" and "new" light greys; those
might look OK together, if handled judiciously, but
those two dark greys? Heck no.
I'll stay in the hopeful camp, believing that this
is just a one-off goof or experiment to find out
how color formulation might go over. HEY, LEGO,
IT DOESN'T WORK. PLEASE STOP IT. STOP STOP STOP.
Or else I'll just start building in yellow MegaBloks,
by which I mean I'd throw myself from a bridge some-
where, because that'd happen way before I'd build
with yellow MB.
Regarding the locking capacity: It doesn't seem
too impaired, at least not among the newer parts
themselves; I haven't tried too much with older
style brick, but it really seems fine so far as
strength of connection goes.
(Say, did this same debate rise up to nibble on the
collective community when they added grooves to the
tiles...? I don't recall; I wasn't on ATL yet when
that happened.)
