Fact # 2: I am one of those who IS very upset with the change to the colors. I have not spent one penny on new sets, nor will I any time soon. Old sets and parts will be available at reasonable prices(I hope) for some time to come. As for being fed up, I am fed up with the discontinuation of "old grays". I am fed up with everyone who thinks that this is an investment hobby. It is supposed to be fun damn it. Everyone who has old MISB sets in the closet, go open them and use the parts for something. Build with it instead of letting it rot on a shelf. If you want to invest, I have 2 words for you. "STOCK MARKET" LISTEN TO YOURSELVES. I can't believe how twisted this has become. TLC is in business to make money. Kudos to them for taking Mearsk's money and turning a profit with it. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Just like I don't buy anything with the new grays. I have my flame retardent suit on, so let the flaming begin. Steven Weiser
