 | | older grey pieces turning yellow —Aaron Dalan
|
| | | I have some castle pieces from the early 80's that were originally light grey, but now they have turned a sickley greenish yellow. Am I doing something wrong here? Anyone else with older pieces encounter this problem? (23 years ago, 15-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle)

All of the pieces seem to be light-gray, some have done the color change you speak of. Mostly they are arches, plates and some (...) (23 years ago, 15-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle)

Ive got a 6080 (my first castle) which spent about 10 years on a shelf, when it was broken down and reconstructed you could see all the bricks that had been at the front, cos they were a different colour.

Maybe I'll have to build one...) any-hoo - wondering if (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle)
