Steve, iv'e got your back man. I remember walking into a lego shop (in sydney)
when i was a kid and purchacing the most obscure pieces, ie, the 2x1 tap peice
required to build the distributor on the 8860. service packs don't have the bits
i want. I have over 200 technic sets, don't realy have the time for much else.
the colour change didn't realy affect me although i have a few 3/4 pins a bit
bleyer now.
The problem is they now make some pieces in only one colour !
I don't want blue axle pins.
the 8440 had red axels, tops
the space shuttel had white axles, awesome.
now they only come in black (for even) and grey (for odd).
what would the spacies think if TLG made left wings black and right wings grey ?
I must say i agree "the range is going down the crapper", the jcb didn't overly
inpress me and this year, there is a bionicle air plane !

woo-hoo to all those castle fans who now have imperfect grey walls !
Ever tried to build a castle without studs ?

Jake, your doing a top job mate, i appreciate your work. If you choose to convey
my concerns, you have my permission to not convey my attitude.

(...) Steve, I agree with you on the Technic argument. I personally haven't liked Town since the 1970's, but others don't see it that way. Around 1980 I started to build MOCs. Granted a lot of AFOL's prefer to build mostly what the company comes out (...) (20 years ago, 21-Nov-04, to lugnet.lego)
