(...) Yeah, I recall some stuff about the relative waffleness and durability of the CA stuff, but I couldn't remember the specifics of any color discussions. Besides, I wanted to get a quick post into our brand-spankin-new lugnet group (and a (...) (20 years ago, 10-May-04, to lugnet.color)

(...) My CA dates back to about 1967. It's definitely more orangey than the current red. I also have red slopes from that time period that I suspect are not CA and they are distinctly different color, and like you, they are similar to the current (...) (20 years ago, 10-May-04, to lugnet.color)

I recently got a few Samsonite-era LEGO pieces in an Ebay lot and noticed a few differences between those bricks and the current ones. Obviously the studlogo is in a different font, and the underside of the plates is sort of "waffle-y," but the (...) (20 years ago, 10-May-04, to lugnet.color)

(...) Do you really belive in "inexpensive bulk packs" from this company? Besides, they should first agree on what the new colours are, as there are at least two shades of the new dark grey are floating around... Come on, TLC could not care less (...)

(...) Hi, Eric, my current "BIG MOC" is a medivel/fantasy setting on 144x192 studs. Although it is much smaller than your brewery, it uses several kilograms of plates 1x1 and 1x2, thus driving the parts count (estimated) to about 50000 pieces. About (...) (20 years ago, 10-May-04, to lugnet.color)

(...) Anthony has already given a great answer to this question, but I wanted to mention that these aren't really "new dark grey bricks." MEGABLOKS has used that shade of dark grey for at least five years. Dave! (20 years ago, 10-May-04, to lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) Hi Kevin, this is a very good idea. There's definetly a chance that bley turns into grey, since the old grey turned yellower due to exposure to the sun. Perhaps I'll try. But so far, I only bought the Mini-ISD this year and I do not plan to by (...) (20 years ago, 10-May-04, to lugnet.color)

What *is* desired is that the steam be channeled and regulated so (...) (20 years ago, 10-May-04, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.color, FTX)
