Thanks for taking your time, Jake!

As you might have guessed, I am among the people who do not like the idea of a (very common and very basic) colour being discontinued and exchanged against a new one.

It will not be a too big harm to me and my hobby, but I dislike the idea to do this cost intensitive change with no chance to take it back (which would make things even worse). I think TLC has a huge effort to do now and the win is so small (while the loss is quite clear for lots of us AFOLs).

Now I pray for the studs to become NOT changed next.

Leg Godt!

P.s.: if all products from now will have blue-grey bricks, does that mean ALL loose bricks that have been “in the pipe”, have been sorted out and are recycled or put into the trash bin? Otherwise there might be a terrible mishmash in some of the future sets. In the past there have been often enough different (updated) shapes of “same” bricks used up over some more production runs. For e.g there are Fabuland Figures around with two different legs. Obviously two production runs of different legs have been stored in the same bin.... Will that happen with some of the gray bricks as well? Or are all “old grey” bricks now gone (even all gear wheels etc that have always been grey only)?

Just some theoretical questions I ask myself. - No answer needed....
