"I can't imagine ever giving Lego a bad review, but I unfortunately had no choice. The contrast of dark gray and white is too severe to look good with the Cafe Corner, Grand Emporium, and others.....grouping. I like the lighter gray roads from the late 80s better (wish I had the option to buy those from Lego). I'm also frustrated that you can't buy a 2-pack of the same road plates (ie. 2 straight, 2 junctions, etc.). These are also pretty expensive. So, for now I feel like I have to go without road plates until prices come down, straight pieces are offered, and perhaps a new color is available."
