No, the sky is not falling. Instead it is just raining these disgusting blue-grey colors and chuncks of this red-brown stuff. The new color changes SUCK!!!! Change them back, and fire whoever thought them up in the first place. Fix this problem (...) (21 years ago, 12-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego)

You know Orion, it may be a dead horse but that certainly doesn't make the problem go away. Keeping it in the forums every once and awhile is a good thing in my opinion. You are not required to agree with me and neither is anyone else. However, I am (...) (21 years ago, 12-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego)
