What could Jake say that would “calm the storm”? I really doubt, beyond saying that the colors will stay the same, anything he says will make a difference to the people that are upset at this point.

Yep. The parts that people are seeing today have probably been in the supply chain for 3-6 months. The decision would have been made even farther back. And there are several months (minimum) of new color parts in the supply chain now destined for new sets. The best that people could hope for is the availability of the 3 colors in bulk packs.

I would suggest that people start considering putting their money where their mouths have been for the past week. If its that important to you, then get together and make a fairly large consolidated group order, present it to Jake, and see if he can get any positive response farther up the chain. Keep in mind that LEGO production is scheduled months in advance *and* they may no longer have any of the pellets for the original colors. Also keep in mind that (based on reading facts at the LEGO web site) they are getting delivery of pellets on a tanker truck load basis. So it might take a fairly large order to sway their opinion.
