The first item on your list of "good news" confuses me.  Are you saying that
these three colors are now instant classic colors and only they will remain
unchanged?  What about white, black, red, yellow, blue and green?  Those are
also core colors.


* 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!" :) )

Triangular and rectangular BURPS along with the basic brick packs you already
have are a must, I think:

The old dark gray makes these parts much more useful for organic MOCs like
landscaping.

* We also have received confirmation from colleagues that in the future, we will
include both the adult and kid enthusiasts in any testing related to
modification or change of the core building system. (Please note that there are
not any plans whatsoever in the works for making changes)

I have participated in a focus group before.  I am not convinced of their
legitimacy for determining anything worthwhile.  I'm sure that some are better
designed than others and it is encouraging that you want to broaden the audience
in them.  Has TLC considered using a LUGNET newsgroup as a focus group?  That
would give them a broad range of opinion in at least the AFOL segment.

(...) Easy now. Saying the three new colors are locked doesn't equate to others not being locked. It's a very good question about what colors are considered "universal" though, and I'll get back to you ASAP on that. (...) I didn't really mean to (...)

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) !!
