Wow! looks like I missed all the fun! I guess there's disadvantages being

I think the main thing most AFOLs are worried about is unintentional changes,
and bad quality, as seen in the new Knights Bus.

Also I'd be interested:
1. Are there other colours you've classified "universal"?
2. What (if any) other colours may become "universal" in future?
3. How do you decide what colours become "universal"?

I realise you may not be able to answer these questions, but I'm still
interested if you can....

Well train track, yes, definitely. Guess I can't really think of any others.

Yes, I think we're all now agreed it was handled very badly, but at least it
looks like we all learned from it :)

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) !!
