"Heiner" from 1000steine mentioned in the discussion that the Sandcrawler([TM] or whatever) sports a different kind/hue of tan. Can anybody confirm/deny this? Or is this just an additional colour instead of a replacement? Or ist this a mistake on (...) (19 years ago, 4-Jul-05, to lugnet.color)

(...) Unfortunately, I think that they have done another production run of the ISD, which would be in new gray. (The new gray part being unfortunate; not the fact that they're making more ISD's) I'd call and ask Shop @ Home first, just to be sure. (19 years ago, 23-Jun-05, to lugnet.color)

Looking for someone with an open copy of 7330 who can tell what they interpret the colors of the Duplo flowers to be. One should be Orange, two may be Magenta... and what is the third one ? I have a copy of 2981 which has the same Duplo flower in (...) (20 years ago, 26-May-05, to lugnet.color)

Hi all, I was just sorting my bucket of 2x4 bricks. I put them in 4x4 stacks by color, then break those stacks into 20 brick units. Anyway, I'm obsessive enough to count them, and this is what I got: Light gray: 418 Black: 338 Red: 176 Dark gray: (...) (20 years ago, 25-May-05, to lugnet.color)
