Ah, so they’re just not sold out yet ... was wondering myself there. I
confess I’m feeling a bit guilty for not buying my share as AFOL. Well ok,
I DID buy around 40 copies of gray baggies and still I could have bought

other elements availible in light gray anymore, or with an uncertain supply
of elements in that particular color in the future? I already built myself
one DEATH STAR II in light gray ... :)

That is just my opinion. And I do thank Jake again for attempting to do what
he could to try to help the situation out.

doesn’t seem to warrant production of more (since there’s inventory left).
Right now, those bags are costing Lego money and taking up space (more money).
IF they didn’t sell fully, why warrant more of the old color, (especially if
there’s no more color to mold)? (just thinking like a business owner here...)

| (...) That is true. I have plenty of "old-gray" bricks, and there will probably be plenty "old-gray" elements on bricklink for a long time to come, but my main issue is that elements introduced after the color-change (like the 3x12 wedge-plate) will (...)
