Hehe. I sense a wicked, devious mind at work here. How refreshing, Richard.
Unfortunately totally beside the point.
Galidork and those new Knights doesn’t affect anyone posting here. Simply put,
it’s not really LEGO and therefore noone has to buy it.
Arbitrarily changing a common color that has been around for TWENTY-FIVE years
(!) has another quality entirely, and an impact on every adult builder out
there. Of course I’m referring to grey. I can fully understand people using foul
language to speak their mind on this issue, because it’s fully appropriate. The
time for politeness is definitely over. I just feel sorry for all those weenies
commenting only on right that bad language. They truly deserve Bioknightle.
But I’m afraid Richard is still going to post just more jokes when LEGO
eventually decides to “improve” the studs as well. Regretfully making them not
compatible to all those older junk anymore ...
Ah, now you think “bah, THAT is NEVER going to happen!”
Yesterday I would have agreed wholeheartedly. But after today I wouldn’t place
bets on it anymore ...

| The "it's grey, folks, but not as we know it" change has certainly provoked comments ranging from thoughtful through irate, and ultimately to the ludicrous and downright bizarre. Lego's apparent disregard for its fans is nothing new, and many (...) (21 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, FTX) !!
