Jake,
I really don’t much care one way or the other exactly what the
colours are - whatever shade of grey we have will be right for
something and not quite right for something else.
HOWEVER I’m very upset that standard colours should change on me. Like many
others here, I’ve invested quite a lot in my current collection of
light and dark grey pieces, and the prospect of being unable to extend
it does not please me. In particular, the prospect of having to start
all over does nothing to help my loving relationship with your employers.
I don’t know exactly how much I’ve spent on LEGO, but last time I
estimated my collection (a couple of years ago) it was hovering around
the 200,000 piece mark. I know there are plenty of people with more,
but even so I would hope this made me a customer that the company
wanted not to upset too badly.

Again, we are not changing the colors back, and from what I know now, we
aren’t considering it. This is an information gathering mission only.

I’m disappointed by that, and I really think the issue should be
reconsidered. Someone made a bad mistake. Ploughing on and pretending
that everything is all right is not the right way to handle it. I’d
have thought maintaining the new greys as distinct (and possibly
minority) colours while continuing to produce the old ones would be
most likely to upset the fewest people. I can’t see that minor
changes in the shades of grey are going to make much of a difference
to the large market of people who occasionally buy a LEGO set for
someone’s birthday or for Christmas. It makes a big difference to some
of the relatively big spenders though.

| It's only a couple of weeks in the new year, and it looks like it's going to be an interesting 2004! I have a request, but before I go any further, let me say that personally, I understand the concerns surrounding the color changes. I know many of (...)
