Thank you for the update.  Being classified as universal colors really doesn't
matter to me.  I have no use for the new gray given their inorganic nature and
it really wouldn't matter to me if they changed years from now.

I am pleased to see the possibility of certain elements being available in old
colors.  9v track in the old gray would be absolutly wonderful.  Besides the
loss of stone colors I was most upset about color change in the track.  So
definately yes to 9v track!

The other parts that I would most like to see would be basic bricks (1x2s
especially) and plates.  Even just a small selection would go a long way.
Arches and 1x4x5 windows would be nice too if ever possible.

You’d think I would have learned my lesson by now about the color change and just taken refuge in a concrete bunker. Nope, not that bright I think! I come to you with a final update, and some good news, as well as bad. Bad news first – After much (...) (23 years ago, 5-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.announce, lugnet.lego) !!
