Children care little about the exact shade of a color and a lot about the
shape and content of parts offered. They are more interested
in the creativity and inspiration of individual kits as well as themes.

Think about what it means when your colors don’t match any more.

As Ryan noted... kids may not care at all about this, much less even notice it.

I expounded
more on it here, but I think this
shows a fundamental shift at LEGO, away from creativity (i.e., dump all
your sets together and build something) and toward set-building (build it
and keep it built).

Then how do you explain the Designer Sets? They were resoundly declared by the
community as a positive shift back toward the core values of creativity.
I’m not saying the color thingy is a good thingy... but just that it may
actually fit in with some of the company’s recent positive changes. We may not
like all aspects of all of the changes, but we really are getting better sets
this last 18 months or so. And from what I’ve heard the Make and Create
philosophy is a long-term strategy, not a ‘see what happens for a while’
approach. Let’s hope that the changes integrate in the end to make a system
we’re all more or less happy with.
All the best,
Allan B.
