I'd be disappointed (in LEGO) if there's both a friction &
non-friction version in the same colour. Up till now, such subtle
differences were easily "sortable" by colour, this would change that
drastically. What space sets have the non-friction version in black?

The all-terrain [sic] vehicle (don't have the number handy) used it to
mount the wheels.  But this was many years before the friction pegs
were invented.

Hmmm. That's interesting. If you're talking http://guide.lugnet.com/set/6927
(released 1981), the brickshelf instructions definitely look like they're grey,
not black. Were there 2 versions of the set I wonder? Seems strange LEGO would
produce a different colour for just 1 set. Has anyone else got this set with
the black pins?

Also, the inventory on peeron.com doesn't include them in this set
http://peeron.com/inv/sets/6927-1 at all, in any colour! There are many sets
containing the part (http://peeron.com/inv/parts/3749) in light grey, the only
other colour mentioned is dk grey. Intriguing.

(...) Yes, that's the set I was talking about, but I was wrong. It's actually set (URL) "Mobile Rocket Transport" that has the black ones. Eight of 'em, to be precise. (...) That's a mistake, because they definitely have 6 grey ones. --Bill. (23 years ago, 31-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.space, lugnet.admin.database)
