Thanks for taking the time to ask for our views. I have not personally seen the
new colors yet, but I can understand where folks are coming from. They see a
discontinuance of an existing (and well used) set of colors. Likewise folks see
a long road ahead to get enough of the new colors to be useful. To put it
another way, people are stuck between a rock and a hard place. What probably
caused most of the consternation is that TLC/LSI made no attempt to issue a ‘End
of life / Last call’ for those items before it became a fait accompli.
Having said that, may I suggest a partial solution (it won’t make everyone
happy, but it might smooth the transition if the color change is
irreversible)...
A limited production run of a tub (similar to the 4400) which contains an ample
stock of both the old colors and the new colors (in a variety of bricks, plates
and slopes). Should you choose this direction, please ask for advance orders so
that you know how many the market might really be able to absorb (because as we
saw with 4400, the demand far exceeded the supply). Some people might be more
interested in the old colors, some the new colors, so I would expect some
horse-trading after the fact to move em around.
Again, thanks for asking for our views.
