Leave ALL colors untouched from now on. I can understand producing more or less
of certain colors a year for manufacturing restraints, spicing up designs or
producing other parts in rarer colors, but permanently deleting colors is silly
& detracts from the 'system' interchangeability of the product. It's like me
handing in a paper in college with 2 different color inks & telling the
professor "it's just the way it is".
Why EXACTLY were the colors changed? just the focus group? using recycled
materials? Why EXACTLY can it NOT be changed back? If it were just a focus
group thing, it should be changeable, but the uncangeability of it seems to
suggest a significant expense in new manufacturing processes. If so, will these
processes lead to any other permanent changes that will undermine LEGO quality?
Thanks very much for keeping us informed. I REALLY liked the old colors better
at first, but since i didn't have a large collection of any of the
grays/brown/purple already, it's getting easier FOR ME to 'warm' up to the new
'cooler' colors. I just want to make sure Lego doesn't jerk us around on other
(more important) quality issues. If someone can't be trusted in small matters,
why trust them with large matters? LEGO has kept the trust pretty well for many
years, but this was a significant shake-up. It's the LEGO Co.'s job to keep the
trust (in the sense of quality control), my job to pay for it (buying the
quality building block toys).

| 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 (...) (21 years ago, 5-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.announce, lugnet.lego) !!
