I am curious how the rest of you have reacted to the colour change. Have
your buying habits changed? Is this what you would have predicted? (But

I've bought less Lego in the last year, but then that's mainly due to buying a
(non-Lego) house.

What it comes down to is that I don't yet regard bley parts as an incentive to
buy a set, but they're not a disincentive - e.g. I have bought 4508 Titan XP
(and would like another) for non-bley parts, but I haven't bought any of 4492
MINI Star Destroyer as it's only bley.

When I start bullding with bley[1], I will start buying for bley - and
that will
be when I run out of classic grey. That won't happen for a while yet, but
seeing
as I rarely take MOCs apart it'll probably happen...

No, what worries me most about bley is that there won't be enough MUGS members
willing to go partsies[2] in sets that contain it!

Disturbing as it is I have taken a few bley parts in partsies, in fact I'm
even building in Dk Bley.

Shocking.  and I found I need (yes, need) the parts from 2 mini Start
Destroyers (3 x 12 wings mostly, but the dk bley elements shall prove useful)
