Has it been a year already? wow. I’ve been away for a long time. I totally avoided the color battle because I didn’t want to get upset. Just recently, I returned to buying large amounts of LEGO elements for those “spring cleaning” boxes.

I honestly didn’t realize the extent of catastrophy the color changes meant for me too until I began sorting my bounty. So far, I am MOST miffed about the brown. grrrr. bad, bad, bad. Now I can see that this will be a major problem. Even the instructions are much more difficult for me to read now. (><)

Knowing TLC, I don’t expect they will change a dang thing for us. But I’d love to sign anything to make my opinion known. My husband is very mad too.
