Hello all, and thanks Jake for such a speedy response! It seems a majority of people (at least of those who posted) here are disappointed in this new direction Lego appears to be taking.

(...) My take on Jake's statement and on looking at the comparative pictures that have been posted is that the colors have been shifted to be chromatically linear. In other words, if you were to map the colors into RGB space, Dark Grey is not on a (...) (21 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) I wonder how much confusion would arise from having two sets of such similar colours on the shelves at the same time (I imagine the transitional period is going to be complicated enough). I can see why people with alerady large amounts of grey (...) (21 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Well if you read my posts on this topic, you will see that I have not even once suggested that my existing bricks will become "worthless" or "incompatible" because of this change. I am merely disappointed that two of my favorite and most (...) (21 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)

Like the majority of(but not all) posters here you've stated your disappointment in a fair and reasonable fashion :) I just don't seem able to share that sentiment. (...) I guess amongst (...)

(...) I agree with everything you have said. But one point of confusion is which "Light Grey" is being changed. Perhaps Jake could clarify this, but I believe the Light Grey that is being changed is the one from the Mosaic sets, sometimes called (...) (21 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)
