But what are the "pros" that TLC came up with to warrent the color changes?

There must have been some really big "pros" on the list to upset the SYSTEM
in this manner.

And I'm sure many LEGO fans would like to hear more about the pros for the
color change. Seeing a list of reasons might make some folks step back and
say "OK - now I can sort of understand why."

(1) I'm sure some of the reasons are labeled "corporate secret" - but please
share.

Yes, please share.  I noticed there was never an official denial to
the rumor that the real reason was so TLC could recycle blue ABS into
the greys, and red ABS into the browns in order to save money.

Is this the real reason why you can't go back?  It's the only "good reason"
I've ever heard that makes any sense.

(...) You can't simply "mix" ABS like that. The colors will never blend 100% and you'll get swirling patterns such as McDonalds "Flurry" icecreams :) -- Jan-Albert van Ree (21 years ago, 5-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)

(...) Now that you got your official denial, consider: Lego makes more black bricks than they do gray bricks. In the recycling article they said recycled plastic goes into black bricks. (21 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)
