(...) Hi Jojo, It is interesting that you say it is much lighter than the old very light gray. I don't have a sample of the old VLG but when this kitten (URL) came out in [LEGOSet 5944] at first I thought it was old VLG but then I began to wonder if (...)

Hello! The inventoty at BrickLink claims they are white. But they are not. There is a very distinctive difference between those shields (their back, since the front is printed) and regular white parts. It's not very light grey as found in the Mosaic (...)
