Why not a Lego bunker - there's a few here who could help you build one ;0)


Good news – based on the discussions and debates, many colleagues are clear that
the color change dramatically affected the AFOLs. They are also clearly aware of
the reasons it has upset you. In order to help address some of your concerns,
several things have been agreed upon.

* The three new colors (light gray, dark gray, brown) will now be classified as
"universal", and these colors will NEVER be touched again. There will, of
course, be colors that change over time with trends, but not these universal
ones.

I think we'd all like clarification on which current colours will be
"universal"...


* A certain few parts that are crucial to keep in the old colors will likely be
created as service pack type items. An example of this would be the 9v train
track. I am interested in getting feedback from you (via this thread) on which
elements MUST be produced in the old colors for the long term. (And no, you
can’t say "the whole range of parts!" :) )

Well yes, all of them, but I have a suggestion. Why don't Lego release a few
different elements in the classic colours each year on a limited run, changing
the elements each year so that people can "look forward" to seeing what elements
Lego decides to choose each year. Creates a limited supply for the demand...

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) !!
