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.“
