Quick Color Change Question

Post by Dragon Master »

Are the gray 2x4 in this months catalogue (with the bionicle on front) the new gray, or the old gray?

I believe he meant the bulk pack; and I am wondering too actually. I remember Jake said something about possibly 10,000 more old grey ones being made or something... :?

Yup, I was talking about bulk. I have a feeling it is the old style, just some leftovers they are trying to sell off.

Thanks,

I bought 9 packs of 2 x 4 light gray from S@H two weeks ago, they were still the old gray. Wish I had more $$ to buy more.

Order some and return it if it is new gray, that would show them.

If there are old light grays left, they won't last long. :(

After a long absence, I have returned. I can't wait to start building again.

1,000,000/50=20,000
20,000*7=$140,000 USD

Anyway, what would you do with a million?I need about 40,000 2*4 bricks for the castle I hope to build, though I could probably use more. Anyway, I hope I can find them all in old gray.

At Legoland windsor, the pick-a-brick store still has OLd grey. It's a shame I didn't pick up the lot, but oh well.

I just went to an official Lego store for the first time at the Paramus Mall in New Jersey. The pick-a-brick bricks were all in new grey. The takeover has begun!

Go to LEGOLAND Windsor! Buy lots of big tubs of old grey pieces and then run before the new grey gets you!

:P

I ordered some 40,000 oldgrey bricks by S@H, because I think that every time can be the last time. But it was no problem at all!
maybe, I can finish Sokenniwell Castle at last.

I think, they are silently making more oldgreys because everybody want to buy them.

Or is it wishful thinking :?:
