Hi Jake!

First of all, I admit that I haven’t read all of the replys: only the first 50 or something like that. So if my thought have already been expresed by someone else, then just move along.

Many times when I see a commercial for an item, they include the words “Now even better!”, “New and improved!” or something along that line.

On the other end of another line, there’s the fact that when a retail producer starts putting less coffee in the jar or less ketchup in the bottle, they do it very quietly and hope that we (the consumers) won’t notice it that much.

In this case I find it strange that The Lego Company has made such a big change without advertising about it. There hasn’t been any press releases saying how proud TLC are to introduce us to the new colors. There are no labeles on the Lego boxes saying “Includes the NEW and improved gray pieces!”

I don’t have much to say about the change itself that hasn’t already been said. But I do find it strange that TLC has made this big change without commercials, press releases and similar things. That fact in itself makes me think that they are not very proud of this color change.
