Derek,

I've spent plenty of time making fun of people who are freaking out over the
color change.  However, I just discovered how nice [the old] dark grey looks
when accenting a blue or black robot.

I didn't really consider the new colors to be a problem, before you pointed out
the difference in bushings & axles.

I don't have any new sets to sort, but I suspect my solution will be to continue
to color-sort pieces that are already color-sorted, but not sort pieces that
only come in grey.

For the most part, unlike bricks, axles & such don't usually show up next to
each other in large quantities on a MOC.  So, you may have to look at both sides
of a robot, (or moc) before you notice the colors don't match.

If you find a place where it DOES matter, well, then you just have to pick
through the drawer and find matching pieces.

That's my plan
Steve
