I’m curious about this exchange from Jake’s chat:
Daimyo Jake, you have stated on Lugnet that the color changes would be
limited to grays.
Daimyo But what about the new yellow color change?
sink21 no, not really... what I said was tha the colors would be limited to
those that were already changed... dark gray, light gray, brown and some of

sink21 the yellow hasn’t been changed
sink21 there is always always a slight variation in colors between mold

Jake, could you pleae enlighten us on the light yellow change, as well as the

This baffles me. Hasn’t the color-consistency of LEGO been praised as one of
the factors setting it above its competitor clone brands? And now we have more
or less official confirmation that color-variance is expected and (presumably)
acceptable? What happened to quality control? And if LEGO forfeits its vaunted
color purity, what’s left?
Dave!
