Relax...take a breath...and your going about it the wrong way trying to fit in.
The vast majority of us...well at least Dave and I have read all about
the "current" state of LEGO (color change and all).
I have to agree with Calum on this one. LEGO does not "owe" us anything.
We may be a profound love of the brick, but the target market for LEGO is the
children, NOT us.
I don't have a problem because there is the secondary market (Bricklink, Ebay)
for older shades of grey, and I could eventually find a use for the
new shades of bricks (for ...cough...cough...castle...cough).
Relax, smell the roses, or whatever you do to calm down, and get down to
building. If you are too p'ed off, then stop buying lego, put your collection
on bricklink or ebay, and let some other more enthusiastic with Lego buy it
off you....
