Now I haven’t actually seen the new grey colors in person yet but based on
the pictures it looks like LEGO is now matching their light and dark grey
colors to the ones Mega Bloks uses.

That was my initial thought on seeing the new dark gray, too. Now it won’t
be so obvious when Lego and Mega Bloks are blended together in a MOC. :-P

Hi, Ducks:
I haven’t trumpeted the virtues of MEGA BLOKS for about twenty minutes, so I’m
long overdue...
Whatever else one might say of MEGA BLOKS, it must be admitted that they have
always offered a wider range of colors than LEGO. I would assert, in fact, that
the broadening of TLG’s palette over the past few years has been driven by the
awareness that their competitor was beating them on this front. Some have
claimed that MEGA BLOKS lacks color consistency even within a single set, but
I’ve never encountered this problem.
I care not one jot about TLG’s desperate ventures into new colors, since I
haven’t found reason to spend more than $15.00 total on LEGO in over a year.
Dave!
