[ here goes Ray, putting another legend to rest ]
Set 4579 'Ice Ramp Racers' has a wonderful parts selection. Amoung those are ...
1 - Trans-Orange gemstone (BrickBay calls it a Jewel, 24 facet)
1 - Trans-Neon Green gemstone
1 - Trans-Light Blue gemstone
1 - Trans-Dark Blue gemstone (is this a new color ?)
2 - Trans-Light Blue crystals
1 - Silver Crystal
4 - Trans-Light Blue Cylinder 2 x 2 x 1 & 2/3 with Dome Top
plus 16 pieces in Light-Blue (aka Maersk Blue) and 14 pieces in Orange.
Even at $20 full retail, a nice selection of otherwise HTF parts. This set
should be appearing on WalMart shelves this month, some stores already have them
out. I Don't recall seeing it at Target, K-Mart or TRU yet tho.
