Uhhhhhh . . . if there are like 100 + colors, what are we angry about??

Yes, it’s a big deal. LEGO has been a rock. The bricks today still mate with the bricks that say PAT PENDING. The 1st red is today’s red. Change for the sake of growth is good. Change for the sake of change is very bad. They can come up with all the Galidors they want as long as they don’t screw up the main line. They are in the process of galidoring the main line. I know that the collectors don’t seem to see the problem but they are a tiny minority of the AFOL’s which are largly builders. Taking away basic gray and replacing it with some pastel mish-mash is like taking away an artists vision. Collectors should be worried because with out the builders, LEGO will no longer have a need to produce for an adult market.-Ken

(...) Actually, today's red is much different than '70s red. This color shocked me when I exited my dark ages and compared my '60s-'80s bricks with my '90s+. The old bricks are a deep rich color while the new ones are brighter and more transparent. (...) (21 years ago, 21-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Uhhhhhh . . . if there are like 100 + colors, what are we angry about?? Sure, only, say, two and an half dozen are produced at any given time, but that's alot. I think it should be okay to alter four or so, it won't totally bring down a line (...) (21 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, FTX)
