WRONG COLOR
on March 8, 2015
Posted by: Emily18
I ordered 6 green baseplates to complete an addition to my Lego table. I was so disappointed when I opened one of them up and noticed the drastic color difference between the green that Lego baseplates have always been and this new lighter green. It does not go with the older road baseplates that I have. I wish Lego would have let me know that they were changing the color. I will be returning these baseplates with the hope that Lego can provide me with ones that are the TRUE classic green color.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

You are correct in noticing the color difference between the old and new Green Baseplate. I will make sure to discuss the impact of this change with the designers.

Wrong Color
on January 30, 2015
Posted by: PeterB42
I purchased 4 of these bases from Lego online assuming that they were the same medium green color that all of my other base plates are. When I opened the package I was disappointed to find that they were a pale, sickly looking, light, bright green. I contacted Lego customer support and arranged to return them as they didn't match anything that I have. If Lego is going to make a drastic color change to a product, they should somehow note it in the product description. This item was a big disappointment.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not the classic baseplate!
on January 22, 2015

How is this 'classic'? This baseplate is a different color than the baseplates that I have been collecting for the past several decades. Since it does not match, that reduces the play value for me. The price has also increased dramatically thus reducing the value. I am also unhappy that the blue baseplates have been dropped. Other than that, it is a high quality product that you would expect from LEGO.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Wrong Colour
on August 30, 2016
Posted by: Harry5749
I went into the lego store only to find that the colour of the plate has changed from the darker green it used to be. There was no warning about this and the new color doesn't match LEGO's grass and foliage pieces at all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us. We understand that the recent update in color must be disappointing after having the previous shade of green for our baseplate since 1996. We will forward your comments along to our design team and will be sure to be more transparent about these types of changes in the future.

Really, lego?
on January 6, 2015

I can understand supply and demand, but a 60% increase in the price of this product is extremely cruel. There is no way that the value of these baseplates could have suddenly jumped from 5$ USD to 8$ USD. I used to be able to buy 8 for 40$ but now I can only buy 5 for 40$. I use baseplates and need them a lot in my city all the time!! Now I have to pay 60% more!!!
However, as a product if I were to *ignore* the price. I think this is a very useful product. You can build anything on it, it has a pretty good amount of coverage and it's almost absolutely necessary when making a city, or town, or any layout with greenery.
-An upset customer who would like some answers at the very least for this crazy price increase
I would recommend this to a friend!

I am sorry that the price increase caught you off guard. The original Green Baseplate came out in 1996 for $4.99 and for 18 years there was never a price increase. Sadly, in order to continue to provide this item to the builders the need for the increase in price was necessary as production costs have increased as well.

Color Change!? Really LEGO!?
on February 13, 2017
Posted by: Lukey
We went shopping at a mall, and I got Pokemon X and this green baseplate (except both things were gotten at seperate stores which both stores sell LEGO). I compared this with my other green baseplate which I've had for almost 5 years, I just noticed the differences of my 2 green baseplates. Why did LEGO change the greens!???
I would recommend this to a friend!
