Wow! looks like I missed all the fun! I guess there's disadvantages being
upside-down after all...

ones.

I think the main thing most AFOLs are worried about is unintentional changes,
and bad quality, as seen in the new Knights Bus.

Also I'd be interested:
1. Are there other colours you've classified "universal"?
2. What (if any) other colours may become "universal" in future?
3. How do you decide what colours become "universal"?

I realise you may not be able to answer these questions, but I'm still
interested if you can....

* 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 train track, yes, definitely. Guess I can't really think of any others.

* 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)

Yes, I think we're all now agreed it was handled very badly, but at least it
looks like we all learned from it :)

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) !!
