I wonder how much confusion would arise from having two sets of such similar colours on the shelves at the same time (I imagine the transitional period is going to be complicated enough). I can see why people with alerady large amounts of grey would be disappointed, but this change is hardly going to make pre-existing collections ‘worthless’ to build with.

Once I got over the initial surprise, the cynic in me is starting to take over. Legoland parks and their Master Model Builders would fall into the category of “people with already large amounts of grey,” wouldn’t they?
I would really like to know:
a. What do the MMB’s really think about the switch;
b. How are the Lego company builders going to handle the transition period - surely we won’t be seeing a mottled-gray appearance on “official” models; and
c. What about repairs to existing gray models at Legoland parks and elsewhere - Mount Rushmore, for instance, is made of zillions of “old” gray bricks.

Part of me wants to believe that the Master Model Builders will have to get along like the rest of us, but the cynic in me believes that “classic grays” will always be available for in-house projects. If I do wind up getting a trip to LLC for my 40th birthday next year (given my recent unemployment, looking doubtful), my eyes will definitely be peeled for “new gray.“
