I could pick this apart piece by piece. For instance Duplo & regular bricks are 100% compatible. See:
And you think the new colours won’t be compatible with old? Several people have already said they can imagine the stone effects, etc that they could achieve. I’m thinking of different segments, armour plating etc that I could use on my Space Mocs, although, like all pieces, you don’t know what’s possible ‘til you hold it in the palm of your hand.

if you need convincing. Technic control center to Mindstorms is growth not change for the sake of change. Lego has had a policy of being a toy that remains constant through generations and it has been. It has growen in many ways but it survives because it is constant.

Is it ‘change for the sake of change’? I can’t see this, nor that Lego is doing it for financial reasons. Just seems to me like a further refinement of a product which has constantly undergone change since its inception, to get it closer to whatever the designers’ ideal is.

I’ve invested too much time and money into this hobby to let seriousness get in the way...
