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

my favorite and most sought-after colors will no longer be available very
soon.

Indeedy. My wanton accusations were not aimed at you. 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.

The new colors DO present new opportunities, but getting rid of the old colors
ELIMINATES possibilities. Especially Brown, which is a very useful and very
rare color. I already own a lot of Dark Grey, and even though I would like to
own a lot more of it, I do have enough of it to work with. But Brown is a
color that I do not have nearly enough of to do very much with at all. The
new “Dirt Orange” color (or whatever it will be called) is not a good
substitute, in my opinion.

I guess amongst all the grey I forgot about that. From what I see the brown
change is the worst one of the three, but of course I’ll wait until I can see
the bricks in person before judging.

If given the opportunity, I would buy buckets of Brown or Dark Grey brick in
all shapes and sizes. On the other hand, I’ve seen the new colors at
Pick-a-Brick, and I don’t see that Lime Green, Dark Pink, or even Teal and
Purple are colors that can be utilized in any significant quantities without
inducing nausea. They are fine accent colors, and I welcome their
availability, but I wouldn’t want to see (for example) Red REPLACED by Pink,
or Yellow REPLACED by Lime Green, no matter how much of these primary colors I
may already own.
