Corey, I think that any discussion of new colors has been overshadowed by the replacement color ordeal, the hype that has followed that, and the fact that many of the Knight Buses have tonal variations among same parts. I have always looked (...) (20 years ago, 20-Jun-04, to lugnet.color, FTX)
| | | | | Lilac or Dark Purple?
|
| I expected the new big and mini Knight Buses to be purple, but I noticed the color doesn't match any other color I have. Looking on Peeron, it is listed as Lilac. On Bricklink it is listed as Dark Purple. Is this a new color? Seems like there (...) (20 years ago, 20-Jun-04, to lugnet.color, FTX)

I think if the sites are truly going to work with each other then they all need an equal say - if not it is more 'including' than 'working with'. And there is a large difference (...)
