(...) 1998 sounds about right. I remember first seeing bright green in SYSTEM in the Halloween bucket and some FreeStyle sets. Many elements are switching over. Baseplates even. -Suz (25 years ago, 29-Apr-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.belville)

(...) Every Belville set that I have got which has had these pieces has had them in a light green, although they have all been from 1998 or newer sets, so perhaps that's when they introduced the color. (25 years ago, 27-Apr-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.belville)

Curious about another use for the large treasure chest & lid found in current BV sets 5801, 5807, 5808, & 5825 and where they came from...
