The corporate marketing speech that Jake posted is a total crock.  I will
not be purchasing any new sets that contain these colors.  Honestly I am
still unsure if I will continue Lego as a hobby at all.

TLG did such a wonderful job getting back to grass roots creativity over the
last year.  Moves like this and the introduction of a new Galidor line will
successfully negate that progress in my opinion.  Wise up, even the children
that enjoy Lego aren't stupid enough to believe this change is reasonable.
