(...) I also bought a new 2004 set (Mos Eisly Cantina), so I have seen the new shades first hand. I also do not like the new brown and gray shades. My recent LEGO buys have been through Bricklink and LEGO Shop at Home. I shop Bricklink because there (...) (21 years ago, 14-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

Short term, my spending has gone up. I spent a lot of money at Dollar General and on clearance stuff at WalMart and KB - all 2003 and earlier sets. I did buy one 2004 new gray set ((URL) 4492>), so I could see the new colors in person and have some (...) (21 years ago, 14-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping, FTX)

(...) Last year I spent $11,000 on in store Lego including S@H. Another 2 grand or so on the secondary market. The year before, I spent about 12 grand on in store sets, and around 1 grand on the secondary market. So far this year I have spent around (...)

(...) Maybe it's supposed to be a subliminal attractiveness... they will like the colors better but not realise why? If so that would be a best of both worlds thing I guess. I haven't seen that theory advanced much, if at all. (21 years ago, 14-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

My shopping behaviour hasn't changed a bit. Apart from the odd Technic set I bought (the back-hoe and the 8868 from E-vil-bay), my Lego collection has been grown just like previous years; every minifig-scale set that was brought out, ended up in my (...)

(...) (snip) (...) Unlike others who have posted, I like the new colors and the new sets. I've bought multiple copies of the SW sets, plus Racers, World City, and Bionicle. The latest (X-pods) are waiting on my move and the start of my new job. I (...) (21 years ago, 14-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) My purchasing has gone mixed the last two years since I started buying parts (and a few sets) on BrickLink. When it comes to in-store sets then I share much of what Peter Guenther has said, most of the sets out there just don't "have it" for (...)

(...) I've bought 3 of the new minis and Mos Eisley, but that's it for the 2004 so far and I don't see that changing any time soon. For me, it's not the color issue--it's just that the sets out now leave me cold, between uninteresting set design and (...) (21 years ago, 14-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) I havent bought any of the sets with the new colors. However, I did specificly buy the Hovercraft Hideout just so I could be sure of getting one with the old greys in it. The only other 2004 sets shown in my first-half-year australian catalog (...) (21 years ago, 14-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)
