Stud changes and part/material quality
I have verified from three different internal sources that NO changes have
been made to the studs. They are the same studs we know and love. This makes
sense, considering that redesigning the studs on all parts we produce would
be an overwhelming and consuming expense (not to mention unnecessary).
Further, the same molds and the same ABS pellets are being used as before.
Material and part quality has not been changed AT ALL. We know that high
quality is a very important part of the LEGO Brand and we would do nothing to
compromise that. Period.

but please don’t EVER let the brick form or plastic type change, unles it’s for
BETTER QUALITY *ONLY* please do NOT change them to keep a lower/’competitive’
price. Thanks!

Color Modifications
As has been pointed out, there have been some modifications to the color
palette. This was done with a great deal of consideration, and for a couple
of very good reasons.
1. LEGO is known for having a bright, sharp color palette. As you can tell
from the photo that Joe Meno posted
(http://news.lugnet.com/general/?n=43553) some of the old colors (like
light and dark gray) are fairly “muddy” and dull. In addition to consumer
feedback pointing this out – and not positively – we didn’t like the
“muddiness” either, and looked for a solution to make all the LEGO colors
“fit”. Check that picture from Joe again; you can clearly see how much nicer
the new colors look. These new colors are brighter and sharper and more
consistent with the primary palette for which the LEGO Brand is known.

O.K. I like the new grays for that reason-they look fresher to me...but i feel
bad about all those fans who have lots of the old grays (I don’t have much, also
why I didn’t mind a change that much)...
| |
From what I understand, all new products, starting with the 2004 sets will be
coming off the line utilizing the new colors. It should be noted that we are
looking into the feasibility of producing bulk packs of the “old” color
elements to be made available through LEGO Shop At Home – no guarantees, mind
you, but we’re looking into it.

...And you addressed that concern Too! 3 for 3!
Thank You Jake & thank you Lego! Thank you Lego! Thank you Lego! Thank you
Lego! Woo Hoo!
You bet your sweet studs it does!

Jeff the ‘faith restored Lego Fan’
P.S. some people noted either here or at FBTB that they remember brick/plate
alignment to be “smooth as glass” or something to that effect. I’ve noticed
more alternating ‘overbite’ in walls of bricks/plates over the last couple years
& was wondering if TLG noticed this or has heard complaints about this too. I
know the bottom of the brick/plate will spread out/laterally a little since it’s
phisically being moved ‘aside’ by the studs since they ‘clutch’ tightly (and
that’s good).
