Very Funny!
I think everyone needs to chill out a bit, yes it is annoying but there’s nowt
we can do. I noticed your other posts on this in the other threads with
amusement too.
On a more serious note, no I’m not happy about it either and in my opinion I
probably fall into the ‘most effected’ group. My reasoning? If you’ve got lots
(300,000+) of Lego then you can probaly build anything you want from your
existing grey (admittedly it does depend on your colour balance) so you can
either not buy new grey or wait until you’ve got enough new grey as well and use
that in seperate models. If you’ve hardly got any then obviously your only
‘writing off’ a few pieces. If you’ve got nearly anough to build your grey
models then you’re in the worst position because any new grey won’t ‘fit’ so you
will have go the more costly second-hand route.
A lot of people who build with grey could actually cope with two slight
variations, for example, castle wall would get a bit of variety in their
stonework while space ships etc would gain an element of differential
weatheredness to their panels. There are, however other situations where you do
need the conformity of colour..

| 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 (...) (20 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, FTX) !!
