A moment of silence please, as we mourn the passing of one of Lego's most distinguished colours, a decorated veteran of numerous engagements and wars. A colour ruthless killed by an uncaring government (TLC) and an upstart rebel (also known as new-grey). Old Grey shall be greatly missed. :cry:

all castle minifigs place your hats(i mean helmets) over your hearts (under the armour) and say a prayer to all the old gray passing away :cry: kinda like what sam+merry+pippin feel when frodo and gandalf go to the Undying Lands. :cry:

Except that the old grey is only undying in the existence of the old pieces. Further production is dead. At least Frodo got to live in an earthly paradise for a while. Oh well, at least old grey can be used to help MAKE an earthly paradise.

Oh alas :cry: . For gray has passed on. But he has left behind many memories of old. And he will never die in our hearts :cry:

Let us sing a song (a sad, sad song)
of gray that has passed away.

Let all of us hope (a hopeful hope)
That old gray will return to stay.

It is told to us (by a governing power)
That old gray will never return.

So let us mourn the loss of old gray
and in our hearts we still yearn.

-by Dale Stoltzfus, dedicated to the memory of old dark and light gray. May the old forever be with us, in spirit.

He was gone, taked by the evil
Evil folloed by the devil
But, good memories he left
He shall return, you will see
Joy will be back again
Wen what is ours come back
Old grey, well miss you
Nathing will repair
Unless grey come back
Let it back, let it come
To us to live in piece
Let it back, let it come


To old grey with ours hearts.

Alas, poor old gray! I knew thee well...
