May 18, 201212 yr That is a good point, but then you other sets that contain this same piece made in a one off color where it could have easily been Black... For example THIS set. is that the colour that was in the 2004 aircraft? (8434, my first technic set) quite a good colour, shame they had to change the dark grey that it is based on to that blue grey. the old grey was definitely better I did just recently get a couple of older sets though (8466 and 8448) which has the old grey.

I actually prefer the new greys, and I DEFINITELY prefer the new silvers, which include a new "pearl dark grey" (god I hate Bricklink color names). The new version of that color is darker and "steelier", not to mention more consistent. And the new silver (the one with colored plastic, not chromed or lacquered) also tends to look more like actual metal. Unfortunately, it seems they haven't been including these colors as much in Technic lately, although there's still an abundance of them in System and Hero Factory.
