I have not bought any 2004 sets yet, nor do I have any plans to do so. since I heared of the colour change I have bought 2003 sets from Wallmart, TRU and S@H, and I have placed some Bricklink orders (naturally with lots of grey and brown peices), and placed some losing bids on e-bay. I felt no need to purchase any 2004 sets to see the colour change, The pictures on bricklink were enough for me. :( I used to be more of a collector.

So now I buy most of my lego sets just for the peices. If TLC makes any new castle sets in the quality and style of the ones from the 80's, (which I doubt will happen for a long time considering the direction they are hidden in) Then I probably would not be able to turn them down. Otherwise I can't see much reason for me to buy new Lego sets once the 2003 stock runs out. So, Yes, the new colour changes have definitely affected my buying decisions.

I know the whole 'new colors' topic has been done again and again, but I was thinking today about the way it has affected my recent buying decisions. I was wondering if other people had been affected to the same degree. To be fair, I did buy one set (...) (21 years ago, 13-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping) !!
