But I think we have a unique final opportunity afforded by the recent installation of a new CEO at TLG. The new CEO, Jørgen Vig Knudstorp, is only ~35 years old! As others here have pointed out, he, like many of us AFOLs, was a kid/teen during the (heavily gray) classic-space and classic-castle eras.

Suppose we, the AFOL community, could get a well-written letter to him directly. The color change could potentially be reversed with this one, well-placed, shot! It may be a long shot, but it is one of our few remaining hopes, and it actually stands a reasonable chance of success.


has anyone ever thought that TLG could simply reintroduce the original grey? could be an easier solution. I like a lot of the new colors, but I just don’t like the new greys. I would get involved in something like this, my time is very limited though. I’ll keep an eye on this thread, maybe something will come about. Darren
