When I built and subsequently took apart the new X-Wing I didn't even think to actually check whether the grays and brown were old or new. I just assumed they were new, like in the other new SW sets. So into my new gray/brown tub the pieces went! At (...) (20 years ago, 8-Sep-04, to lugnet.color, lugnet.fun)

I bought lots of pieces in the Pick-a-Brick shop in Billund last week (approximately 12 kg !) to make my large mosaic. When I got back home I checked the brown and grey pieces and yes: they were all in the old colours !! Amazing, isn't it ?!? (...) (20 years ago, 31-Aug-04, to lugnet.color)

(...) The technology may be real, but I don't believe TLC uses any PET derived plastics for any brick parts, though they do use them for packaging (clear BIONICLE pods are PETE, and opaque ones are straight PET). Since the pods are really just (...) (20 years ago, 25-Aug-04, to lugnet.color, FTX)

I have to second Jake on this--I've worked in plastics production before (I've personally mixed color combinations before), and that's not how you injection mold plastic--you can't "inject" color into pellets when making molded parts that are (...)
