(...) So far, I've drastically reduced my purchases in new Lego this year, and what I spent went into older sets (, but totalling less than €100 so far. On the other hand, this money went into the secondary market, where the old colours are still (...) (21 years ago, 15-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

and in much the same way. I've spent the vast majority of my Lego money at my local consignment shop. Old grey at a discount. WOO! Dave (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) All I can say is that I don't plan on buying any new sets that year, Technic or Town, and a large reason is because of the horrendous new colors. The ONLY thing that would make me reconsider buying a set is if they would come out with some (...) (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) I really don't care about the colors. I am not into the building for the colors. I am in the builing for my drug. Yes I said it. Lego is my drug of choice. T-Shirts to follow. LOL Color is not a big deal. I would like to see old baseplates be (...) (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) I don't expect my buying habits to change at all. Thanks to the aging process of LEGO which eventually turns all bricks yellow, I have many different shades of grey in my collection. Plus, LEGO hasn't been consistent with colors anyway. (...) (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) For me, the recent color change has contributed to me remaining in my 4th Dark Ages indefinately. That and all the yucky themes and sets that do not appeal to me as a 35-40 age group AFOL. If I had to pick one hobby nowadays, building plastic (...) (21 years ago, 15-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) My LEGO purchases are way down from last year as a direct consequence of the color change. So far in 2004, I have purchased a total of 3 4400 tubs. Compare that to last year, when I spent "mid three figures" every month on LEGO. There are a (...) (21 years ago, 15-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) It has changed my buying habits not one tiny little bit. Of course, I do much of my buying at two distinct times (the Brickfest DC outlet trip, and pre/post christmas sales) so I wouldn't have bought that much 2004 product in the last few (...)

(...) As I noted on the one thread on lego.com, I have bought about $10,000/year for the last 6 years... So far this year, I have bought *zero* 2004 sets. I have bought some clearance Lego here and there to stockpile ODG (Old Dark Grey), but nothing (...) (21 years ago, 15-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)
