 | | Yellow blues...

| A new basic color seems to have been hit by the "color shift syndrom": yellow. When I opened my brand new (URL) 8455 Backhoe Loader>, I noticed that some parts ((URL) RC Race Buggy'> and (URL) 'Technic Liftarm 1 x 7 Bent'>) had a slightly darker, (...)

| (...) Wow. Yellow? I will be interested whether this is just another dirty nozzle or consistent new hue. Dirty nozzle means not pure yellow--my yellows are greenish, like they were made immediately after a blue run. Two bad shades came in the same (...)

| | | | | Re: Yellow blues...
|
| (...) I don't think it is the case here, since two different kind of parts have exactly the same hue. And with a dirty nozzle you usually don't get an homogeneous color. Here parts have a very nice yellow color - but different from other parts in (...) (20 years ago, 28-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)

| (...) OK. did you check the color against many older parts? (20 years ago, 28-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)

| (...) There have always been some variation in colors. I have seen several hues of standard red, yellow, blue and white in new sets. Sofar it has meant nothing! Martin (20 years ago, 28-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

| (...) I hope you're right... though here the difference is small, but quite noticeable! Philo (20 years ago, 28-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)

| Try putting the pneumatic airtank next to another blue brick and see what happens :) Did not someone report that the hubs in that set appeared to be made out of some other plastic then ABS? (20 years ago, 1-Dec-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)
| | | | | Re: Yellow blues...
|
| (...) Now that I have built the model (highly recommended BTW), I must confess that the color difference is almost invisible to the unwarned eye. You see it best under fluorescent light that give a slightly greenish tint to the old yellow color... (...) (20 years ago, 1-Dec-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)

|
| (...) A number of years back (4 maybe), I was sorting some basic bricks from 3033 tubs and I noticed the different subtle shades of yellow. Certain bricks seemed to be more primary yellow (whatever that is) and some seemed to be slightly more red. (...) (20 years ago, 1-Dec-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

| (...) IIRC, there was some speculation about the material used for the tires, which seemed less "rubbery" in 8455 than similar tires in previous sets. Dave (20 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)

| (...) Ah, yes! My bad, sorry! (20 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)

| (...) Seems as rubbery as the tires I got with my 8446... maybe slightly more since they are new and clean ! Philo (20 years ago, 4-Dec-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)
| | | | | 8455 tires (Re: Yellow blues...)
|
| (...) I know this issue has been discussed before, so forgive any redundancy. After examining my 8455 backhoe, the larger rear tires (which look just like the "power puller" type from 8466, but are slightly smaller) are less rubbery than the power (...) (20 years ago, 4-Dec-03, to lugnet.technic)
