New Grey Lego colour? in Everything else LEGO Anyone else notice the difference in the grey between, oh, say the Land Speeder in set #4501 and oh...perhaps EVERY OTHER GREY LEGO? Aside from 7119's weird red colour bricks - which I have no idea where I stored, this is driving me insane as I dumped them all together in one bin. Is this a Star Wars only thing? They seem to have a bluish tinge to them. @DaveE, I bet he is referring to the one from 2004. Should we "let him in" on all the gory details? /general/?n=43553That's when the 2004 sets started hitting the shelves in the lead-up to Christmas that year!Supposedly, some fans had gotten wind of it a few months earlier when talking to builders in LEGOLAND, but had been asked not to say anything (IIRC, LEGO said something like "it's so subtle, the fans may not even notice").Of course, what followed was probably the biggest hissy fit in AFOL history-- some people even went so far as to try boycotting LEGO, vowing never to buy another new LEGO set again.
For years, whenever a new set was coming out, LEGO designers asked for feedback, which ALWAYS consisted of some AFOLs asking "Will it have old gray?" Sign In or Register to comment.

Arthur Parsons here, from TT Games working on LEGO Dimensions to deliver a message of importance — direct from Krypton! It is with superhuman excitement that the team here at TT Games, as well co-Game Director Jimmy McLoughlin and I, announce the arrival of Supergirl in LEGO Dimensions. Superman’s cousin is arriving as an exclusive available with LEGO Dimensions PS4 Starter Packs starting this September. Not only will that mean you can get a collectable Supergirl LEGO minifigure, you’ll also be able to play as Kara Zor-El, with all of the incredible powers that you would associate with her — like flight, superhuman strength, x-ray powers, and beam attacks.
But that’s not all. What we’re most excited about is her ability to use her Red Lantern ring and transform. While in her Red Lantern form, she can fire red energy bolts and beams from her ring, and use Lantern Constructs — an ability unique to her. The arrival of Supergirl, in addition to being able to choose from 16 amazing new brands that are coming to LEGO Dimensions, should hopefully have you all as excited to play the game as the team here at TT Games is making it. So many amazing entertainment franchises are coming, including Adventure Time, Harry Potter, Ghostbusters, The Goonies, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Gremlins, The A-Team, Sonic the Hedgehog, and much, much more. All of this is in addition to the Starter Pack and first year content. All of the various brands and toys are completely compatible with each other — you just need the one Starter Pack to be able to begin your incredible adventure. For those of you that are already playing the adrenaline thrill ride that is LEGO Dimensions, Supergirl will be available next year with the “Hire-a-Hero” feature in the game.
For now, we need to get back into the office and get the fantastic new content ready for you all. /2012/6-reasons-why-i-hate-lego on this server.
