|

What all colors do wands come in? Aside from the common white and trans-red, I've seen trans-green, trans-blue, trans-dark pink, and clear. Are there any others? Rick Kurtzuba (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.belville)

(...) Actually, there are two shades of trans blue wands - light blue (as in 5807, the Royal Stables) and dark blue (as in 5825, the Fairy queen's magical house). HTH, -Shiri (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.belville)

(...) Most likely old castle, but I'm not sure that no other theme used them. I'm not sure when they were introduced. They last at least until the Wolfpack era. (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle)

What you are missing, Jason, is that it appears on page 26 of the Summer 2000 catalog (foccer/football guys on cover), where everything on the page is "Buy 5 items, get $4.00 off / Buy 10, get $8.00 off" Pawel's math, then is 10 x $1.99 = 19.90 - (...) (24 years ago, 6-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle)
