That was my point. The "new gray" has already made it into the train

still be some "old gray" out there. However, if old gray rails still
exist, whether you get new or old gray rails is going to be a crap shoot.

I can't understand why Lego is only going halfway with the color change.
Why aren't they promoting the new colors with splashy advertising on
the boxes that say "New and Improved Colors!  Now even more compatible
with your MegaBlocks collection!".  Isn't that the whole point of this?

They should take a tip from the cereal manufacturers.  You'd never see
a new color in your box of "Lucky Charms" without a huge blurb on the
front of the box extolling the virtues of fabulous new rainbow colored
marshmallow bits.
