Richie;
thank you for succinctly, sarcastically, and eloquently (with chronologically
referenced examples to boot!) saying what I’d been trying to say. Which is, in a
nutshell: complain all you want about the replacement colours; if they’re
better, they’re better. This isn’t the first time LEGO has overhauled itself and
it won’t be the last. Obsolescence (not sure how to spell that...) is nothing
new.
I’d forgotten to mention the change from maxi figs to stiffies to minifigs in my
own post, and I’d forgotten that I’d even owned those 3 x 4 doors with frames
(which, come to think of it, I still have a pile of). I’d also forgotten that
plates didn’t previously exist. And I’d forgotten that people here did post like
crazy about LEGO selling out with licensed sets “I’ll certainly be buying less
of your product”.
Heh -- nail hit squarely on head.

How, exactly, are the replacement colors "better?" I really would like to know.
