(...) There's an excellent reason - (URL) this statement> by Jake himself: Keep in mind that the non-AFOL consumer (especially the kids on the boards) probably hasn't realized there IS a color change. Many of this year's products aren't out yet (...) (21 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Why do kids have to actually note a color change between versions A & B for it to be a worthwhile product enhancement? Do most kids buy multiple copies of the same set and compare them? So what if the gray doesn't quite match their older (...) (21 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)
